The former biology teacher from Alexander High School in Georgia is from her third-period class, according to an arrest warrant.
Prosecutors now say she has , which ordered her to have no contact with any of the alleged victims and to stay away from their homes.
She was also barred from having contact with any minors, excluding her six-year-old daughter and was banned from internet access, including social media.
The mom-of-one also was ordered to obtain a psychosexual evaluation within two weeks of being released.
On Friday, prosecutors filed a motion in the Superior Court of Douglas County asking for her bond to be revoked.
Assistant District Attorney Ra Williams alleged Nichols broke the strict conditions 85 times in under a month.
The court filing outlined the alleged breaches, including 38 home curfew violations and 47 further violations of the agreement.
Williams said due to the nature of the charges, Nichols had been specifically banned from being around minors, accusing her of “unauthorised travel to public locations, including locations where children are frequently present,.
She named retail stores and fast-food restaurants in the new motion.
According to her release conditions, Nichols is only allowed to leave her home for religious services, attorney visits, medical appointments and court appearances.

When the former teacher was released, authorities secured an electronic monitoring device on her that has since produced a compliance report citing the 85 violations.
As a result, prosecutors are now asking the court to revoke her bond and order her to remain in the Douglas County Jail until her trial date.
The state has also alleged Nichols poses a “significant threat to the community”, and allowing her to roam free could result in witness intimidation or a risk of re-offense.
Judge Lauren Wallace scheduled a hearing on the state’s motion to revoke bond for Monday at 9.30am.
Nichols’ attorneys have so far not responded to the motion.
She is facing a string of sexual abuse charges, including eight counts of improper sexual contact by an employee or agent/foster parent, four counts of grooming a minor for a sexual offence, two counts of child [sexual abuse] and tampering with evidence.
Court records have not revealed if she has entered a plea for the charges laid against her.
Police arrested the former educator for the first time in Douglasville, Georgia on May 6, then again later that month for charges relating to the sexual abuse of five other teens.
Her alleged victims include a girl she reportedly .
She has also been accused of having sexual intercourse with a student in the backseat of his truck at the local golf club on May 3.
And on another occasion prosecutors say there was video footage of Nichols having [sexual intercourse] with a pupil while wearing a “Jesus Loves You” sweater.
Court records alleged she also sent a string of illicit texts to several teens, including nude photos and videos of herself using sex toys.
Two of the recipients were allegedly under 16 years old.
Authorities allege she described her sexual desires in explicit text messages to her students, including that she wanted to be “choked, screamed at, slapped and whipped.”
An arrest warrant claimed that Nichols had an OnlyFans account that was discovered by her students.
They were allegedly using the adult content to blackmail her for better grades.
The former high-school teacher was also accused of tampering with evidence for allegedly telling a student to delete the text messages and lie if he was asked about suspected molestation.
Following her first arrest, the Douglas County School System told parents it was “deeply troubled” by the allegations and that is had launched an internal investigation.
“Student safety is the district’s highest priority. The alleged behaviour is unacceptable and violates the professional standards all employees are required to uphold,” the district said.
