Delivery of Items - Procedure for 2026-2027
Deliveries of any kind will not be accepted on the campus. This includes, but is not limited to food, flowers, or balloons. These and any other type of delivery are a safety and security concern and will not be permitted on the campus.
AWAY FOR THE DAY POLICY
In accordance with HB 1481, students will be required to put away all phones, iPads, and gaming units when they are on campus at all times after the 8:30 a.m. bell and until the bell rings at 3:55 p.m. Electronic devices interfere with the focus of learning. This will be a shift in practices, but the distractions of social media, texting, and playing games need to be removed from campus.
House Bill 1481 takes effect this school year and requires all Texas school districts to prohibit students from using "personal wireless communication devices," which the law defines as “any wireless electronic communication device, other than a device provided to students by a school for instructional purposes, capable of transmitting and/or receiving data.”

Want to create a Parent Schoology Account?
The District utilizes two robust Learning Management Systems (LMS) that provide a connection between teachers, students, and parents.
Seesaw is used for students in grades PK-1 and Schoology is used for students in grades 2-12. With a Seesaw or Schoology parent account, you can access some of your child’s course assignments and grades, have direct messaging access to assigned teachers, and more. If you don’t already have a parent account, you can create one.
Here are the directions to create a Schoology Parent account.
