Since September, all students at Holyoke Public Schools’ three middle schools and three high schools have been using Yondr pouches to store their cell phones during the school day for the 2023-24 school year. The pouches help ensure that students are not accessing their phones in school while at the same time allowing them to keep their pouch-secured phones with them throughout the day.
Want to see how they work?

Reminder: Turn back your clocks on Sunday, November 5. Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 5 in Massachusetts—so be sure to set your clocks back one hour late Saturday evening or Sunday morning! While some digital clocks will automatically adjust for seasonal Daylight Savings Time changes, many won’t. The annual fall back to standard time means there will be one hour less of daylight in the afternoons and one additional hour in the mornings.
