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

Our Community Shows Up for Splendora Students!
This past Saturday, October 24, the Splendora ISD Education Foundation hosted its annual Men (& Women) Who Cook fundraiser, bringing together local businesses, educators, families, and community members for a night of great food and an even greater purpose!
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, 18 chef teams, and everyone who attended, we raised nearly $34,000 in net proceeds! What does that mean for our students? These funds help the Foundation provide innovative classroom grants, scholarships, and educational opportunities that go beyond what traditional school funding can provide.
When our community comes together, our students benefit! Thank you to everyone who continues to invest in the future of Splendora ISD. Together, we're building a brighter future for our Wildcats!  To see photos from the event, click here!
