Taft ISD Communication Device Policy for 2025-2026
Taft ISD, along with all Texas school districts, are implementing policies in response to Texas House Bill 1481 which prohibits use of communication devices in schools during the instructional day. We ask parents to talk to their children about this new policy to prepare for the upcoming school year. Parents can contact administrators at Taft High School, Ricardo L. Treviño Junior High School or Woodroe Petty Elementary for questions about this policy.

Today Dr. Garza and district administrators recognized our employees who had perfect attendance for the 1st Six Weeks! As educators, we always stress the importance of our students being in school every day! As administrators, we know that quality instruction is more consistent when our teachers & paras are in the classroom every day! So we recognized them for perfect attendance in the presence of the students on their campuses.
We wanted to give a special shout out and treat to all of our employees at Taft High School, Ricardo L. Treviño Junior High School and Woodroe Petty Elementary who made it to every day of instruction for the 1st Six Weeks grading period!
