We are excited for the first day of school on August 12th. Students' 1st period class will be posted in the cafeteria as they enter on the first day of school. They will receive their full schedule in their first period class on the first day.
1. The first day of school will be on August 12, 2026. Classes will begin promptly at 7:50 am. Please ensure your child arrives on time, and we ask that parents do not walk their child to class at junior high. Here is the link to the
2026-2027 Academic Calendar. Your child will NOT receive a schedule until all annual forms are completed online. They must be completed by 8/10/2026.
2. Our doors will open at 7:15 am, and SJH school hours are: 7:50 am to 3:30 pm. Students will be marked tardy at 7:50 am if they are not in class. Research consistently demonstrates a strong link between student attendance and academic success. Attendance matters, and it’s extremely important that your child is at school on time for the full day every day.
3. During the first week of school, students should bring pencils, pens, and a spiral notebook. Teachers will share supply lists with students during the first week of school.
4. It is a district requirement that all annual forms be completed by August 10, 2026. If you need assistance with the forms, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelli Kuykendall, kkuykendall@splendoraisd.org. SJH Registrar.
Dress Code Update
Leggings, spandex, and tights may be worn if covered by a shirt, blouse, skirt, and/or shorts that are mid-thigh or longer. Hoodies can be worn, but students cannot wear a hood in the building for safety reasons.
Bus Riders
