🚨 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 🔵 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.

📊 The Texas Education Agency has released the 2025 A–F accountability ratings. La Joya ISD received a C rating (score of 78). While this reflects a shift from last year, it also marks an important turning point as we continue strengthening instruction, supporting teachers, and preparing every student for success in college, career, and life.
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.

Consisting of guidelines that adhere to the Texas School Safety Center, one of the actions within the SRP is 🟣HOLD— a directive that restricts movement and requires students and staff to remain in their classrooms with doors locked while instruction continues.
A 🟣HOLD may be used during situations like hallway altercations or medical emergencies. Students outside the classroom will be directed to a supervised, secure space.
Through this uniformed response, La Joya ISD is prioritizing safety with a unified response and clear communication.

🚨 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 🟣HOLD (Permanecer en el Aula) — una instrucción que restringe el movimiento y requiere que estudiantes y personal permanezcan dentro de sus salones con las puertas cerradas, mientras la enseñanza continúa.
Un 🟣HOLD puede utilizarse en situaciones como altercados en los pasillos o emergencias médicas. Los estudiantes que se encuentren fuera del aula serán llevados a un lugar seguro y supervisado.
Con esta respuesta estandarizada, La Joya ISD reafirma su compromiso con la seguridad mediante una comunicación clara y acciones unificadas.
