🚫📱 Attention La Joya ISD families! A new state law (House Bill 1481) will ban student use of cell phones and personal devices during the school day starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This applies in classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, restrooms, and during lunch. The goal is to reduce distractions and support learning. La Joya ISD will share more details soon about how this will be implemented. We want to make sure every student and family is ready for these changes. Thank you for supporting our efforts to create the best possible learning environment for all students.
