📢 El Paso ISD students, teachers, and parents are invited to take our anonymous Cell Phone Policy Survey. 📲

The Texas Legislature recently passed a law requiring school districts to implement a cell phone policy. As a result, El Paso ISD adopted its new policy this school year.

Your valued input helps us understand how the policy affects teaching, learning, and the overall school environment. 🏫📝

Please check your email on Monday, Sept. 29, for your survey link. Thank you for being part of the conversation! 🌟
