\nmember. This restriction is always applicable on or off the school premises
\nduring the school day including recess in the yard, field trips, after school
\nprograms, school fire drills or any emergency preparedness exercise.

\nof the school day at dismissal. Students will lock their devices away as they
\nenter the building and unlock their Yondr pouch at their dismissal door upon
