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.

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.

Big Ideas Start in Our Classrooms! 
Behind every creative classroom idea is a teacher who wants to give students something special. The Splendora ISD Education Foundation helps bring those ideas to life through educator grants funded by generous donors and community partners. Thank you to everyone who helps create more opportunities for our Wildcats to learn, explore, and grow!
