RGHS Back to School Parking Lot by CASSANDRA BROWN

Even though there is every Monday set for a staff meeting, the CBA says 1 a month.

awilliams_rgsd — 2025-08-06 18:06:42 UTC

Backed up by law, it would be easier to implement.

2025-08-06 18:08:09 UTC

How can we ensure consistency in the procedures outlined in the Violations section?

zacharygaines1 — 2025-08-06 18:08:10 UTC

what is the consequence for not paying the $30 Yondr Pouch fee

alishamcelrath — 2025-08-06 18:08:18 UTC

How can we ensure the proper staffing of entry and arrival stations?

zacharygaines1 — 2025-08-06 18:08:48 UTC

Who will be responsible for making sure the scholar start this Day 1? Will it be the 1st hour teacher?

What is an alternative option for giving access to ELLs/ESOL students to communicate with school staff members?

karunadwivedi — 2025-08-06 18:10:06 UTC

Most of the newcomers (ELLs) are dependent on the smartphone(Google Translate) to communicate on the school premises.

kneumann30 — 2025-08-06 18:10:20 UTC

A student uses a phone in class, then the DSO is called, and the phone is hidden or passed off to another student. My concern is that then there will be no consequence based on the teacher's observation.

karunadwivedi — 2025-08-06 18:11:04 UTC

My suggestion is that all the staff should be advised to install the Google Translate app in case they need to communicate.

vgarrett7 — 2025-08-06 18:11:17 UTC

What prevents them from unlocking the yondr pouch at unlocking stations through out the day? What if they do?

Consistency is key.

2025-08-06 18:11:22 UTC

2025-08-06 18:11:24 UTC

How will this be implemented?

Will students be assigned a number/name goes on case?

What about burner phones?

Who is legally responsible for this?

What is the backup plan?

What about watches, tablets, earbuds, headphones?

DSOs were told they cannot take a phone from a kid, so how will this work?

Who do we call? Who is coming to get them?

Why is this the best plan?

Is there a reason why we just do not store all the phones in the Youder pouch in a phone locker in a destinated secured area when the students arrive. And then redistribute the phones back to the students when they leave?

alishamcelrath — 2025-08-06 18:12:09 UTC

What about students with medical issues?

How are we going to handle non district devices? Some of our scholars have jail broke the chrome books and can get on any sites.

2025-08-06 18:12:31 UTC

alishamcelrath — 2025-08-06 18:12:38 UTC

Are they going to write names on the bags?

2025-08-06 18:13:55 UTC

This will only work if every teacher, sub, admin, custodian, staff member, DSO, cafeteria worker enforces this. Tell me all subs will handle this.

if they show up and say it's already in the pouch, will they have to take it out to verify with admin/DSO?

alishamcelrath — 2025-08-06 18:14:39 UTC

2025-08-06 18:15:15 UTC

What information should teachers pass to parents who insist that their child keep their cell phone available to them the entire day?

Who is responsible?

2025-08-06 18:15:24 UTC

What are the consequences?

Who is fined? Arrested? Charged/ Sued/ Jailed?

where do they go for replacement pouches?

alishamcelrath — 2025-08-06 18:15:37 UTC

2025-08-06 18:16:20 UTC

No phones on campus period or have lockers!!

Regulating other electronic devices not placed in yonder pouch, ex) ipads

apayne96 — 2025-08-06 18:18:07 UTC

Taking the pouch home will be a huge issue with students losing or returning them.

vgarrett7 — 2025-08-06 18:19:19 UTC

Lockers as holding cells

2025-08-06 18:19:24 UTC

Use the lockers and have them keep them there.

Create a locker room and do not let kids in there other than the morning and end of school?

Sign form to acknowledge searches are allowed at any time.

Will devices that students bring (not cell phones) and use them as phones, be restricted as well?

awilliams_rgsd — 2025-08-06 18:19:43 UTC

Will scholars go home the FIRST time they refuse to put the phone up?

2025-08-06 18:20:40 UTC

Numbers and names on Yondr pouches

2025-08-06 18:21:06 UTC

2025-08-06 18:21:44 UTC

When teachers, administrators, home school coordinators, and other school and district personnel converse with parents regarding the cell phones, all personnel should recite the same response: Riverview Gardens is committed to following the Missouri State Senate Bill 68, which bans cell phone use in all Missouri schools.

Admin keep the cell phones and devices that come on campus

awilliams_rgsd — 2025-08-06 18:23:05 UTC

2025-08-06 18:26:47 UTC

Students have more than one cellular device, how will we be able to monitor this?

What do we do about ear buds, smart watches, etc? Should they be placed in the pouch?

vgarrett7 — 2025-08-06 18:32:15 UTC

A campus wide statement on cellphone and non district device, that all staff knows.

awilliams_rgsd — 2025-08-06 18:32:20 UTC

ttinsley6 — 2025-08-06 18:35:04 UTC

Posters of the Missouri State Law could be made and hung around campus (hallways, classrooms, restroom doors, etc.)

Staff not following process and procedures.

awilliams_rgsd — 2025-08-06 18:36:21 UTC

2025-08-06 18:38:17 UTC

Will there be consequences for other electronic devices/headphones brought to school by students?

khediger — 2025-08-06 18:40:10 UTC

If their head phones do not fit in a YONDR Pouch should each teacher keep inventory and give it back AFTER the final bell rings?

If teachers are expected to use technology (ie online assessments for data purposes), and students cannot have phones, then all classrooms need a classroom set of district devices for students to use.

2025-08-06 18:42:43 UTC

khediger — 2025-08-06 18:50:29 UTC

Create an incentive program for teachers who go above and beyond to enforce school policy and are able to connect positively with offenders.

Thank you for your leadership!
