  • For a student to leave class for any reason, they must show the teacher their ID.

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.

In Case You Missed It: Splendora Alumni Welcome Our New Teachers
The Splendora High School Class of 1980 helped us give each of our 19 first-year teachers a $200 Amazon gift card to use as they begin their teaching careers. What a thoughtful way for Wildcat alumni to welcome the next generation of educators!
We’re grateful to the Class of 1980 for showing our teachers that the Splendora community is behind them from day one. Are you a Splendora alum who would like to give back? Reach out to us at educationfoundation@splendoraisd.org — we’d love to help you find a way to support today’s Wildcats!
