Today La Joya ISD School Board of Trustees approved a recommendation made by our Administration Team for La Joya ISD to delay the start of the 2020 – 2021 Academic School Year. This recommendation was made to ensure the safety of our students, parents and community given the significant number of active COVID-19 cases in our county. Our new First Day of School will now be September 8, 2020. This new start date will not only ensure the safety of our students, employees and community but will give our district the opportunity to ensure our online program is stronger and highly effective as we begin our 100% online Remote Learning Model on September 8th.
Together or Apart We Will Shine Bright at La Joya ISD!
