🚨 Safety First at La Joya ISD 🚨
In the event of an emergency, La Joya ISD utilizes the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to ensure clear, consistent actions for all students, staff, and first responders.
Consisting of guidelines that adhere to the Texas School Safety Center, one of the actions within the SRP is 🔴 LOCKDOWN — a directive that requires classrooms to be locked, lights to be turned off, and students to remain out of sight and silent.
A 🔴 LOCKDOWN may be used during situations where there is a possible threat inside or very close to the school.
Through this unified response, La Joya ISD is prioritizing safety with clear communication and protective procedures.
---------------------------
🚨 Seguridad Primero en La Joya ISD 🚨
En caso de una emergencia, La Joya ISD utiliza el Protocolo de Respuesta Estándar (SRP) para garantizar acciones claras y consistentes para todos los estudiantes, el personal y los socorristas.
Este protocolo, alineado con las pautas del Texas School Safety Center, incluye la acción de 🔴 LOCKDOWN (cierre de emergencia), una instrucción que requiere que los salones se cierren con llave, se apaguen las luces y los estudiantes permanezcan fuera de la vista y en silencio.
Un 🔴 LOCKDOWN puede utilizarse en situaciones donde exista una posible amenaza dentro o muy cerca de la escuela.
Con esta respuesta estandarizada, La Joya ISD reafirma su compromiso con la seguridad mediante comunicación clara y procedimientos de protección.

In the event of an emergency, La Joya ISD utilizes the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to ensure clear, consistent actions for all students, staff, and first responders.
Consisting of guidelines that adhere to the Texas School Safety Center, one of the actions within the SRP is 🔵 SECURE— a directive that requires everyone to move inside the building while exterior doors are locked. Instruction and activities continue as usual inside the school.
A 🔵 SECURE directive may be used during situations like police activity in the neighborhood or a potential safety concern outside the campus.
Through this unified response, La Joya ISD is prioritizing safety with clear communication and secure procedures.



Families will hear directly from their child’s campus regarding individual results. A full presentation of district results and next steps will also be shared at the August 27 Board Meeting.

📊 La Agencia de Educación de Texas (TEA) ha publicado las calificaciones de responsabilidad académica A–F para 2025. La Joya ISD recibió una calificación de C (puntaje de 78). Aunque esto representa un cambio con respecto al año pasado, también marca un punto de inflexión importante mientras continuamos fortaleciendo la instrucción, apoyando a nuestros maestros y preparando a cada estudiante para el éxito en la universidad, la carrera y la vida.
Las familias recibirán información directamente de la escuela de su hijo(a) sobre los resultados individuales. Además, una presentación completa de los resultados del distrito y los próximos pasos se compartirá en la Reunión de la Mesa Directiva del 27 de agosto.
