Does your school have a policy on smartwatches for younger students? Do you allow them, and if so do you collect them in the same way as smartphones?
Thank you!

Hello,
Smart watches are not allowed in lower school and if a student is distracted by it, we take it and give it to the front desk receptionist where the child and a grownup can reclaim it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Kyle
