Our Mission

The Cell Phone Pilot Program has had a big impact on classrooms and students at TMJH. “I originally was very annoyed by the Yondr pouches and slowly they have started to grow on me because I feel like they have allowed for more conversations and connections,” one TMJH student shared. “Before Yondr pouches a lot of people, including me, sat on their phones during lunch and at the end of classes rather than talking to other people. The pouches have forced me to have so many more conversations with great people I never would have talked to if I had been able to fill the silence with my phone. I feel like it isn't perfect, but having to be more social even in situations where I feel shy and wish I could fill the silence with my phone has helped me so much and I feel has helped my social skills and confidence.”

Desde que la escuela secundaria Treasure Mountain (Jr. High) inició el programa, el impacto ha sido significativo: menos ciberacoso, menos conflictos y mejor concentración en el salón de clases. En comparación con el año pasado por estas fechas, los problemas de disciplina han disminuido en un 75%, lo que significa que los profesores dedican menos tiempo a gestionar los problemas relacionados con el teléfono y más a enseñar.

“What we’re seeing is a kinder, gentler school because of the intentional impact of the wellness initiative. The focus, lessons, and structures put in place have been innovative both as a school and as a district.” Treasure Mountain Junior High Interim Principal Isaiah Folau
