Cell Phone Policy
Beginning on the first day of school, students are not allowed to use personal communication devices while on campus during the school day. Prohibited devices include:
  • Cell phones
  • Smartwatches
  • Earbuds/headphones
  • Tablets/laptops (unless school-issued and used for instruction)
  • Gaming devices
  • Radios/pagers/other electronic communication devices
The instructional day begins when a student enters the school building and ends at the final dismissal bell. This policy applies in all areas of the campus, including classrooms, hallways, restrooms, and the cafeteria—during passing periods and lunch.
Students must keep devices out of sightturned off or in silent mode, and unused at all times during the school day. Devices may be stored in a student’s backpack.
All SJH staff will consistently uphold and enforce this policy. Students who do not comply will receive consequences in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.

We do not allow visitors during lunch. You are able to drop off food for your child only. DoorDash or other food delivery service orders will not be permitted.

Water Bottles
Students may bring and use personal water bottles in classrooms and other areas outside the cafeteria only if the bottle is a clear plastic container. Glass bottles are not permitted. Bottles must contain WATER only. No other beverages are permitted.
 

Foundation Corner

Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat!
In celebration of Homecoming, the Splendora ISD Education Foundation is hosting a Class vs. Class Alumni Giving Challenge! Alumni are invited to donate in honor of their graduating class, and we’ll track which class shows the most Wildcat pride.
Consider giving an amount inspired by your graduation year—for example, a 1991 graduate might give $19.91. Please include your class year with your donation so your class receives credit.
The Class of 1980 has already set the bar high with a $3,800 gift supporting all 19 of our first-year teachers. Help us celebrate Homecoming by sharing the challenge with the Wildcats in your life!
