The Eagle Edge
March 2026

Growing, Competing, and Finishing Strong
March brings a great deal of energy and activity across Johnson City ISD. Our students are busy with UIL competitions, fine arts performances, and spring athletics, all while continuing to focus on strong academic growth. We are proud of the way they represent our district and grateful for the teachers and staff who support them each day.
Spring Break will take place March 16–20, and classes will resume on Monday, March 23. We hope this time provides an opportunity for rest and renewal as we move into the final stretch of the school year.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to ensure success for every student.

Safe Gun Storage
Texas law requires school districts to provide families with information about the safe storage of firearms. This notice explains the importance of properly securing firearms to prevent accidental shootings, suicide, and other acts of violence.
State data shows that a significant number of firearm-related deaths in Texas are suicides, and attempts involving firearms are often fatal. Limiting access to unsecured firearms is a critical step in protecting children and reducing tragedies.
Under Texas Penal Code 46.13, it is illegal to store or leave a readily dischargeable firearm in a place where a child can access it. Penalties can range from a fine to jail time, depending on the circumstances. Texas also exempts firearm safety equipment from state sales tax to encourage safe storage practices.
Firearms should always be stored unloaded in a locked container or safe, with ammunition stored separately.
