<h2>Most Effective, Sustainable, & Positive Implementation </h2>
<p>Unlike other implementations, this implementation naturally allocates workload to all staff and students while focusing on saving school money, reducing waste, and increasing parents' and students’ support.
Organization, Distribution, and Maintenance:
Number and store Tier 1 Pouches in 27-gallon bins. Students can buy their own pouches or loan them from school.
Reduce Cost and Increase accountability.
“Parents who prefer not to have their children share pouches can purchase them at discounted prices from the school or winelements.com. These students can then personalize and decorate their pouches year after year. For parents unable to afford this, their children have the option to check out a pouch from the library. This approach positively changes students’ attitudes toward taking care of their pouches.
ARRIVAL: Students either use their own pouches or borrow one from the bin. They silence their phones and show them to staff or volunteer students to pouch them up along with their earbuds and smartwatches. Students keep the pouches and devices with them throughout the day.
Schoolwide Interventions: If a staff member catches any student with their devices out, they lock up the devices in a Tier 2 Orange Safe Pouch. The staff member retains the students’ IDs and hands them to the Office. These students must wait in line at the Main Office and optionally “answer a reflection question” to request a staff member or volunteer student to unlock the pouch so they can retrieve their IDs.
DISMISSAL: After school, teachers unlock the pouches, collect the borrowed ones, and return them to the bins at the Main Office or nearby designated pick-up areas. They collect any damaged pouches, including students’ personal pouches, and report students who have lost or damaged their pouches, charging parents for repairs ($5) and replacements ($15).
Schools loan out the pouches to students who cannot purchase them due to financial reasons.
How do schools identify school pouches from students or loaner pouches?
Loaner pouches have an L##. Students’ pouches have no number. The school’s pouches have a school name’s initial and number (Ex. Win Middle School would be W#)
Challenges and Solutions:
- “I don’t have a phone“: Students either have a parent’s written note or go through a non-contact check of their backpacks and pockets. They lock up earbuds, smartwatches, or other distracting items (e.g., toys)
- “I refuse to pouch up my phones or go through a non-contact security check.” It’s now a different type of discipline problem
- Students bring a magnet school: Make it part of your school policy that any magnet brought to schools will be confiscated and will not be returned.
Other Benefits and Applications of Tier 2 Orange Safe Pouch:
Transform school PBIS, MTSS, and Discipline:
By having a Tier 2 Orange Safe Pouch in all classrooms and on every campus supervisors and administrator, all staff members can enforce immediate “positive consequences” to proactively prevent and reduce tardiness, cyberbullying, fights, bullying, defiance, and chronic absences. We know counseling itself has little impact on most challenging students, but adding Tier 2 Orange Pouch to counseling, detention, suspensions, and Saturday Schools makes it more impactful and productive.
The pouch is a positive choice of consequence compared to Saturday School, Detention, or Suspensions. However, it has a greater impact on improving students’ behavior.
Overall Analysis
We know there is no perfect implementation, but we create an implementation strategy that proactively addresses most challenges.
- Since all of the school’s pouches stay in school, we will never rely on ALL students to take care of their pouches and bring them to school daily. Yet, each student is responsible for their pouches daily and needs to pay for repair or replacement.
- It’s flexible and addresses all concerns of parents’ and students’ needs (safety, hygiene, & etc.)
- The pouch has no value for students outside school, so they will not want to steal it.
- We repair the pouches for school year after year, so it saves schools a lot of money and significantly reduces any waste.
Why don’t we recommend a school check out all students a Blue Safe Pouch to take care of and bring home daily?
- It is challenging to make sure 100s and 1000s bring their pouches when they feel they are forced to check out a pouch.
- Students are tempted to damage their pouches with all the possible tools at home.
- Demanding and making sure parents pay for their children’s pouches will be a challenging task if they feel their children are forced to check out a pouch.
- It’s costly! Very soon, your schools will be forced to buy more pouches because students will learn to leave their pouches at home or vandalize their pouches.
What is the balanced solution that saves schools money, increases parental engagement, and fosters students’ responsibility and ownership?
Schools encourage parents to buy the pouches at a low cost for their students. Parents who cannot afford the pouches can borrow one from the school. Other students will check out the pouches daily from the bin as they enter the school.
<h2>Simplest, but Riskiest, Implementation</h2>
<p><strong>Organization and Maintenance: </strong>Number and check out Tier 1 Blue Safe Pouches for students to use until they move to a different school or graduate, like a Chromebook.
ARRIVAL: At the entrances, students put their devices inside their pouches and ask a staff member to lock them up along with their earbuds and smartwatches.
DISMISSAL: Last-period teachers unlock Tier 1 Blue Safe Pouches.
Challenges and Solutions:
-
- Safety and Accommodation: Every teacher has a magnet to quickly unlock a student’s Blue Safe Pouch during an emergency, medical need, or other “supervised” use.
- “I forgot or broke my Blue Pouch”: Students either borrow an Orange Safe Pouch or leave their devices at the Main Office to pick up after school.
- “I don’t have a phone“: Students either have a parent’s written note or go through a non-contact check of their backpacks and pockets. They still have to bring their working pouch daily to lock up earbuds or other distracting items.
- “I refuse to pouch up my phones or go through a non-contact security check.” It’s now a different type of discipline problem
- Repeated or defiant students need to be referred to administrators for confiscation and further consequences.
- Students who lost/damaged/vandalized school pouches need to be reported and turned in the pouches to administrators as evidence to charge students for repair ($5) or replacement ($15).
- Students bring a magnet school: Make it part of your school policy that any magnet brought to school will be confiscated and not returned.

Video for Staff, Parents, Students, and Community</li><li>Video--How to Remove Stuck Pin Without Cutting the Pouch</li><li>ADA Recover Spreadsheet Calculator</li></ol><h3>Turn Safe Pouch into Positive Daily Incentives (Applicable in Any Implementation)</h3><p>At the entrances, students earn a <strong>School Pouch Points</strong> stamp when arriving on time, having their "Good" Safe Pouch, and following Safe Pouch procedures. The stamps are school currency students use to purchase tickets to selected sports or school events, permission to participate in an event, or permission to go on a field trip. Tardy students don’t earn the points.
Individual classrooms can have their unique Pouch Points stamp and log. Tardy students don’t earn the point. The stamps are the class currency, and students use them to purchase Late Pass, Homework Pass, and Retake Assessments. Unused points are counted as extra credit.
Other Benefits of the Token System: When a staff member sees a student has a device out, they can cross out 5 school stamps with their name. If it’s in class, students lose both the school and class Pouch Point Stamps.
Piloting in Individual Classrooms
Organization and Maintenance: Number pouches with the classroom number and pouch number (E.g., J12-2 – J12-36). Each student is assigned to a numbered pouch on the roster. Separate the pouches into SIX bins (1-6, 7-12,13-18,19-24,25-30,31-36)
Essential Pouch Point Daily Rewards:
Students also earn “Pouch Points.” If a pouch is broken and there are no replacements, use a clip to lock it. Students avoid taking items out to prevent losing 5 Pouch Points. Meanwhile, request replacements and repairs.
At the end of class, the teacher, not a volunteer, unlocks all pouches, and any student who has a broken pouch will lose their 5 Pouch Points because they have attempted to break the pouches. (Use your best judgment and document students’ behaviors).
Students use the points to purchase Late Pass, Homework Pass, Re-take Assessments, or treats. Any unused points are counted as extra credits at the end.
ARRIVAL: Students enter the classroom, pick up their assigned pouches, and ask a volunteer or the teacher to lock up their devices before going to their seats
DISMISSAL: At the end of a period, teachers unlock the pouch, and report any students who have damaged the pouches.

“My principal was very supportive of the no phone policy in my classroom and he purchased a class set for my classroom. Since I have implemented the pouches, I have seen a difference in my students’ grades. They are more focused and they are actually paying attention in class. My students know that once they get 80% or better or their assignment, then I will unlock their phones. It gives them a reason to work hard for their phones. Their grades have improved tremendously. I wish that I would have had these phone pouches a long time ago.”
