At the July 30, 2025 Board Meeting, La Joya ISD School Board approved a new district policy in alignment with Texas House Bill 1481, which requires school districts across the state to limit the use of personal communication devices during instructional hours.
📱 What this means for our students:
Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, students in Pre-K through 12th grade will not be allowed to use cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, or similar electronic devices during the school day—from arrival to dismissal.
🔒 Devices can still be brought to school, but they must be:
• Turned off before entering the school building
• Stored securely, either in backpacks, designated areas, or district-issued locking pouches (depending on grade level)
• Left untouched until the end of the instructional day
📍 Implementation will vary by campus level:
• Elementary: Devices stored in backpacks or teacher-designated spaces
• Middle & High School: Devices must be stored in district-provided locking pouches
• HOPE and College & Career Center: No personal devices allowed on campus
⚠️ Progressive discipline will be used for violations, ranging from verbal warnings to device holds.
This policy is designed to minimize distractions and improve safety across our campuses, ensuring that students stay focused and engaged in learning.
Questions? Please reach out to your child’s school for support. For more information, please visit our website at www.lajoyaisd.com/page/cell-phone-policy

📢 Nueva ley estatal genera cambios en el uso de dispositivos de comunicación personal en La Joya ISD
Durante la reunión de la Mesa Directiva del 30 de julio de 2025, la Mesa Directiva de La Joya ISD aprobó una nueva política distrital conforme a la Cámara de Representantes de Texas, Proyecto de Ley 1481, la cual exige que todos los distritos escolares en el estado limiten el uso de dispositivos de comunicación personal durante el horario de clases.
📱 ¿Qué significa esto para nuestros estudiantes?
A partir del ciclo escolar 2025–2026, los estudiantes desde Pre-Kínder hasta 12.º grado no podrán utilizar teléfonos celulares, relojes inteligentes, audífonos u otros dispositivos electrónicos similares durante el día escolar, desde la llegada hasta la salida.
🔒 Se permitirá traer dispositivos a la escuela, pero deberán:
• Estar apagados antes de entrar al edificio escolar
• Estar guardados de manera segura, ya sea en mochilas, áreas designadas o en bolsas con seguro proporcionadas por el distrito (según el nivel escolar)
• No ser utilizados hasta el final del día escolar
📍 La implementación variará según el nivel escolar:
• Primaria: Los dispositivos se guardarán en las mochilas o en espacios designados por el maestro
• Secundaria y Preparatoria: Los dispositivos deberán guardarse en bolsas con seguro proporcionadas por el distrito
• HOPE y College & Career Center: No se permitirá el uso ni la posesión de dispositivos personales en el plantel
⚠️ Se aplicará una disciplina progresiva en caso de violaciones, desde advertencias verbales hasta la retención temporal del dispositivo.
Esta política está diseñada para reducir distracciones y mejorar la seguridad en todos nuestros planteles, asegurando que los estudiantes se mantengan enfocados y participen activamente en su aprendizaje.

We use the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) districtwide so that in any emergency, students and staff know exactly what to do.
This graphic shows the five key actions everyone on campus is trained to follow:
🔒 Hold – Stay in place, clear the halls
🚪 Secure – Lock outside doors
🚨 Lockdown – Locks, lights, out of sight
🚶♂️ Evacuate – Move to a safe location
⚠️ Shelter – Use safety strategies for hazards like weather or chemical spills
👨👩👧👦 Reunification – A safe, organized process to reunite students with families after an emergency
We’re launching this SRP campaign to help students and families feel safe and confident in any situation. With guidance from the Texas School Safety Center, these six clear, consistent directives help students, staff, and first responders respond in an emergency.
By sharing this plan with our parents and community, we’re working to build trust, promote transparency, and create a stronger, safer school environment for every student.
