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 sight, turned 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.

Lunches
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!
It’s Homecoming week, and the Splendora ISD Education Foundation is inviting alumni to show some love for their graduating class through our Class vs. Class giving challenge. Every gift made in honor of a class counts toward its total and helps us support Splendora students and educators. The Class of 2001 is currently in the lead, but there’s still time for another class to rally! 
You can also support the Foundation at Men (& Women) Who Cook on Saturday, October 24, at The Nathaniel Center in Kingwood. It’s a fun evening of food, community, and support for our schools. Tickets go on sale September 24, and we’re still welcoming chef teams, sponsors, and auction donations.
