This is a copy of the parent/guardian letter that the Jefferson Joint School District #251 sent to their families on how and why they are changing their cell phone policy to a phone-free (bell-to-bell) policy. Note: The success of phone-free policies in schools are dependent on support from the school leadership, staff and families and school size. If a school does not have one of these supports and has a large student population, it is recommended a school consider using a method to secure phones (e.g., specific cell phone lockers or Yondr pouches). Please see the PFSM Administrators Toolkit for more details.
