That text can wait. Your student’s future can’t.

At Edgewood ISD, we want every student focused, connected and ready to learn.

That’s why personal devices must be powered OFF and stored OUT OF SIGHT during the school day.

And it’s more than a school rule. Texas law requires public schools to prohibit student use of personal communication devices during the school day.

One notification can become one distraction. One distraction can mean missing directions, an important lesson or a chance to connect with classmates.

Together, we can keep classrooms focused on what matters most: our students and their success.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help. If something is weighing on your mind, reach out to a friend, teacher, counselor, coach, or family member. There are people who care about you and want to help.

A veces, lo más valiente que puedes hacer es pedir ayuda. Si algo te preocupa, acude a un amigo, profesor, consejero, entrenador o familiar. Hay personas a las que les importas y quieren ayudarte.

Sometimes frequent absences can be a sign that a student is facing challenges, such as difficulties with school, friendships, or other concerns. If your child is struggling to attend school regularly, know that you're not alone. Our dedicated teachers and staff will work with you to ensure your student feels safe, supported, and excited to learn.

The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) helps schools respond quickly and appropriately to different situations. Depending on the type of emergency, staff may initiate a Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, or Shelter response.

By using clear, consistent actions, students and staff know exactly what to do when seconds matter most. Practicing these responses helps create a safer, more prepared EISD.
