September 16, 2024 Dear La Joya ISD Parents, In light of recent threats made against our schools, we want to inform you that three La Joya ISD students have been arrested, transported to Hidalgo County Juvenile Detention Center and are now facing serious charges, including making false alarm and terroristic threats.

Additionally, our La Joya ISD Police Chief, along with other law enforcement agencies and local ISD police departments, attended a press conference to address these threats and reinforce our commitment to safety.

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we will continue to take every necessary step to ensure a secure learning environment. We encourage you to have conversations with your children about the serious consequences of making or sharing threatening messages, especially on social media. Even if a threat is meant in jest, it will be treated with the utmost seriousness, and legal consequences will follow. La Joya ISD has strong safety protocols in place, including regular safety drills and increased security measures. We ask for your continued partnership in reminding students of the importance of online responsibility and reporting any unusual behavior to school officials or law enforcement.

Students in Mrs. L. Tovar’s 2nd grade class learned and reviewed synonyms this week. They were each given a cinnamon roll and were asked to find an adjective to describe their dessert. Once an adjective was chosen, students were then asked to find synonyms for that word. This was a fun and engaging way for students to practice and remember what synonyms are.

Mr.Garza’s 2nd grade class completed a dot activity for DOT day. Students enjoyed the art project because it expressed their own creativity and individuality.

📚 Dear Primo Retell 📚Mrs. Bermea’s 3rd grade students worked in pairs to find the differences and similarities between the characters to retell the story. It’s awesome to see them collaborate, think critically, to find keywords that retell the story in their own words. Proud of their teamwork! 🙌✏️
