• New Cell Phone Procedures

  Starting on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 AMT will be making our school a phone and electronic-free space to improve teaching and learning using a system called Yondr.  Yondr has been implemented in over 1,000 schools across 21 countries to facilitate an engaged learning environment. 

  We believe that phones have great utility. We have also found that learning and social behavior improve drastically when students are fully engaged with their teachers and classmates.

  The Yondr Program utilizes a simple, secure pouch that stores a phone. Every student will secure their phone in a personally assigned Yondr pouch when they arrive at school. Students will maintain possession of their phones and will not use them until their pouches are opened at the end of the school day. Students are required to bring their Yondr pouch to and from school each day and are responsible for their pouch at all times.

  Yondr recently surveyed over 900 school partners to measure the effects of creating phone-free educational environments. These schools achieved notable progress in multiple areas:

  • 65% of schools saw an improvement in academic performance
  • 74% of schools saw an improvement in student behavior
  • 83% of schools saw an improvement in student engagement in the classroom

  If there is an emergency and you would like to get in contact with your child, please reach out to our main office at 718-471-3571.

  In an effort to best serve your child, we appreciate your full support in adoption of the Yondr Program at our school.

  Detailed information can be found on the document below which reviews the procedures, student responsibilities, and measures taken by the school if the cell phone procedures are not followed.
