New Cell-Phone Policy for 25-26
New Cell-Phone Policy Graphic

During the 89th Legislative Session, Governor Greg Abbott signed Texas House Bill (HB) 1481 into law, requiring school districts to prohibit student access to personal communication devices, including cellphones, smartwatches, tablets, smart devices, and earbuds, during the school day. The bill includes exceptions for students who require devices for medical reasons, special education needs, or safety-related accommodations.

To comply with the new law, students will not be permitted to use their personal communication devices during the instructional day–from the first bell until dismissal. Phones and personal communication devices must be kept in a backpack, purse, or pocket. The policy applies to all classrooms, passing periods in the hallway, the cafeteria, locker rooms, and other school property during the instructional day.

Students who violate the policy will face disciplinary consequences according to the Student Code of Conduct. Parents can rest assured that, in the event of emergencies or urgent matters, the school office is their reliable point of contact. The school will promptly relay urgent messages to students and ensure that the students can contact their parents or guardians if needed.

HB 1481 state-wide educational policy on personal communication devices, aims to reduce distractions and improve classroom focus, reflecting a national trend.

Snowball Review in 8th Grade Math
Snowball Review in 8th Grade Math

Recently, 8th grade math students had a chance to review for a test over the Pythagorean Theorem by having a “snowball” fight. Students were split into two teams and answered questions independently to earn points for their team. The points translated into paper snowballs that the teams could use in a “fight” at the end of class! It was really a fun day, packed with quality review questions that made sure students were fully prepared for their test.
