"All Jefferson Middle School students must complete a cell phone contract BEFORE bringing a cell phone on campus. This contract will be completed during registration. Once a cell phone contract is on file, it is valid for the entire time a student attends Jefferson Middle School. If you obtain a cell phone after the registration date or your cell phone information changes it is the student’s responsibility to contact the front office to either complete or update a cell phone contract. Per school board policy, your cell phone must  be turned off from the first bell in the morning until after the dismissal bell in the afternoon. Cell phone use is NOT permitted on the school bus."

"No cell phone usage on campus by students."
