The community was informed about Yondr pouches through Kodiak Weekly, a letter mailed to all enrolled families, and flyers at orientation. Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Hoyseth-Wann addressed the topic at orientation, with all questions directed to Mrs. Hoyseth-Wann for consistency.

Weekly updates include new plans based on lessons learned, such as using more magnets, turning off phones, and managing earbuds, smartwatches, and large wireless headphones. A QR code for pouch replacement payments has been introduced, and pouches remain in backpacks. The process involves three stations for phone checks and bag inspections.

Teachers have praised Yondr pouches for improving classroom management and student engagement, with many seeing them as a valuable addition.

Recommendations include starting with strict enforcement, ensuring faculty support, delegating enforcement to administration, charging students for damaged pouches, and requiring parents to pick up phones.
