Students use caddies/pockets in classrooms for the full period. Continuous Reinforcement Ongoing faculty meeting refreshers. Regional focus on implementation challenges and "off and away" backpack models. Student Voice Mid-year feedback and digital literacy panel shows students feel impact is positive and implementation is respectful. Staff Best Practices Sharing methods like slot-number assignment connected to attendance to integrate compliance into daily routines. Recent Enhancement: Portable Stadiums New set of cell phone "stadiums" deployed at classroom doors for collection during entry, proving more effective than in-room collection.
