BeThere activates phone-free mode during school hours on campus — with school-day visibility for staff, no pouches, and no phone lockers.
School hours onlyCampus area onlyStudent app + admin portal
As students arrive, phones enter phone-free mode automatically.
Students install BeThere once. During school hours, phone-free mode activates the moment they arrive on campus and stays on bell-to-bell — emergency calling remains available throughout the day.
Set up once. No daily scan, no pouch, no app to open — phone-free mode runs automatically on campus and lifts at dismissal.

Short answers before your first meeting.
No. BeThere is designed for the school day. It runs during the configured school schedule and campus area, not as a 24/7 tracking tool.
Very little. BeThere is designed so teachers do not have to collect phones, unlock pouches, scan students in, or manage a phone system during class.
For BYOD schools, yes. Students install BeThere on their iPhone or Android phone, enter the school code, verify their school email, and enable the required permissions. BeThere is designed to be school-specific and limited to the school day.
If the app is deleted, permissions are disabled, or the device stops checking in, BeThere can show that the student needs follow-up. A second phone is still a school policy issue, but BeThere makes the normal path easier and gives staff visibility when setup or device check-in needs attention.
Yes. Emergency access remains available. BeThere is designed to support a phone-free school day while preserving access to emergency help.
No. BeThere is designed for students to install directly on iPhone or Android without requiring a full MDM rollout. Schools with managed devices may have additional enforcement options.
