Dear Parents/Guardians,
La Joya ISD is aware of threatening messages circulating on social media, targeting several schools in the Rio Grande Valley. Please know that the well-being of our school community remains our top priority, and we take all threats seriously. While an arrest has been made in another school district in connection with these threats, we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the situation. At this time our campus administrators and police force have diligently followed up on potential threats posed at La Joya ISD campuses and will continue to keep campus communities updated. We have increased patrols in and around our campuses to ensure the continued safety of our students and staff as a further precaution.
We also ask that you take this opportunity to talk with your children about the importance of not forwarding any threatening messages. Instead, they should report these threats immediately to a campus administrator. Please be aware that anyone responsible for making or circulating threats will face serious legal and administrative consequences.
We will continue to provide updates as needed and appreciate your continued support and cooperation in maintaining a safe learning environment.

Queridos Padres / Tutores,
El Distrito Escolar Independiente de La Joya está al tanto de los mensajes amenazantes que circulan en las redes sociales y que apuntan a varias escuelas del Valle del Río Grande. Tenga en cuenta que el bienestar de nuestra comunidad escolar sigue siendo nuestra principal prioridad y tomamos todas las amenazas en serio. Si bien se realizó un arresto en otro distrito escolar en relación con estas amenazas, queremos asegurarle que estamos monitoreando de cerca la situación. En este momento, los administradores de nuestro campus y la fuerza policial han hecho un seguimiento diligente de las posibles amenazas planteadas en los campus del Distrito Escolar Independiente de La Joya y continuarán manteniendo informadas a las comunidades del campus. Hemos aumentado las patrullas dentro y alrededor de nuestros campus para garantizar la seguridad continua de nuestros estudiantes y personal como medida de precaución adicional.
También le pedimos que aproveche esta oportunidad para hablar con sus hijos sobre la importancia de no reenviar ningún mensaje amenazante. En cambio, deben informar estas amenazas de inmediato a un administrador del campus. Tenga en cuenta que cualquier persona responsable de realizar o difundir amenazas enfrentará graves consecuencias legales y administrativas.
Continuaremos brindando actualizaciones según sea necesario y agradecemos su continuo apoyo y cooperación para mantener un entorno de aprendizaje seguro.
