📱🚫 DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT – BISD IS A DEVICE-FREE ZONE

Parents and students, effective the first day of school, we will be implementing a device-free zone at BISD. The Texas Legislature has passed House Bill 1481, which REQUIRES ALL public school districts across Texas to create device-free environments during the school day.
What House Bill 1481 requires for ALL Texas students:

✅ All personal communication devices must be turned OFF and stored out of sight
✅ Includes cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, gaming devices, and more
✅ Policy applies from first bell to last bell, while on school property
✅ This is a state mandate - ALL Texas school districts must comply
Need to reach your child during school hours? 📞 Parents you can call our campus front office

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Parents, please:
◾Update your emergency contact information with the front office
◾Remind your child about this new law
◾Help us create a focused learning environment
Disconnect to Reconnect - When students power down their devices, they power up their connections with teachers, classmates, and their love of learning! 📚✨

📱🚫 DESCONECTARSE PARA RECONECTARSE – BISD ES UNA ZONA LIBRE DE APARATOS ELECTRÓNICOS

Padres y estudiantes: a partir del primer día de clases, implementaremos una zona libre de aparatos electrónicos en BISD. La Legislatura de Texas ha aprobado la Ley 1481 de la Cámara de Representantes, la cual REQUIERE QUE TODOS los distritos escolares públicos de Texas establezcan ambientes libres de estos aparatos durante el horario escolar.

¿Qué exige la Ley 1481 para TODOS los estudiantes de Texas?
✅ Todos los aparatos personales de comunicación deben estar APAGADOS y guardados fuera de la vista
✅ Esto incluye: celulares, relojes inteligentes, tabletas, consolas de videojuegos y más
✅ La regla aplica desde la primera campana hasta la última, mientras estén en la escuela
✅ Es una orden estatal – TODOS los distritos escolares de Texas deben seguirla
📞 ¿Necesita comunicarse con su hijo durante el horario escolar?
Padres, pueden llamar a la oficina principal de la escuela

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Padres, por favor:
◾Actualicen su información de contacto de emergencia en la oficina
◾Recuérdenle a su hijo sobre esta nueva ley
◾Ayúdennos a mantener un ambiente enfocado en el aprendizaje

Desconecta para Reconectar – Cuando los estudiantes apagan sus aparatos, se conectan más con los maestros, compañeros y con gusto de aprender. 📚✨

🚧 Exciting changes are coming to Sams Memorial Stadium! 🚧 The stadium will soon be transformed into a multi-use football and soccer complex. It will host a full fall schedule of varsity football games, boys and girls soccer matches from December through April, and eventually UTRGV Division I football games. Please note that Jefferson Street will experience increased activity with trucks delivering turf, asphalt, and other materials. We recommend using alternate routes when possible. Crews could be working into the evening hours, with stadium lights on to ensure safety and efficient progress. Thank you for your patience as we make these exciting improvements! 🔧⚽🏈
