🟣 Special Note on Earbuds:
Wireless earbuds are not allowed on campus.

🐾 Students will need wired earbuds (the simple kind with a cord connecting them) to use during individual computer lessons. These should be:

  • Compact enough to roll up and store easily in the clear backpack

  • Not the large, over-the-ear style

  • Designed to fit inside the ear

📵 Wireless earbuds taken out during the school day will be considered unauthorized technology and will be confiscated. A parent or guardian will need to pick them up from the front office.

📵 EISD Cell Phone Policy (HB 1481)

📵 Cell phones must be turned OFF and kept in backpacks before entering the building.
📵 Phones not turned off will be confiscated — parents must pick them up.
🎒 Phones must stay in backpacks all day.

✅ After 4:15 PM, phones may be used only while waiting for buses in the cafeteria or for parent pickup outside the building.

📵 Using phones elsewhere during the day will result in confiscation.

➡️ This is a state law (HB 1481). Violations will result in consequences that become progressively more severe with each incident.

 📞 In case of emergency, parents should call the front office and a message will be delivered to the student

🔹 Lost or damaged IDs must be replaced by the parent/guardian.
💻 Pay online here: https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/56855/

🔐 Why IDs Matter:
They’re a key part of our campus safety procedures and help staff quickly identify students.

⚠️ Continued non-compliance may result in:
📞 Parent phone call
💳 Required replacement purchase
📋 Disciplinary action if repeated

Thank you for supporting student safety and accountability! 🐾
