Pearsall Junior High

📆Mark your calendars! Here are some of the upcoming events we have going on around our district as we prepare for the start of the 2025-2026 school year✨🏫
Be sure to follow the official social media pages for Pearsall ISD to stay up to date!🤘🏻🟢⚪

As we prepare for the upcoming 2025–26 school year, we want to make our Pearsall ISD community aware of a new state law that will impact all public schools across Texas. The Texas Legislature recently passed House Bill 1481, which requires school Board of Trustees to adopt policies prohibiting students from using personal wireless communication devices during instructional time.

Our current cell phone policy for students which was approved by the Pearsall ISD Board of Trustees in July 2024 for the 2024-2025 school year, implemented the use of Yondr mobile phone security pouches on our Junior High and High School campuses.

We are looking to expand the Yondr program to our lower grade levels to comply with the state-mandated change. Pearsall ISD administration is currently reviewing the requirements of HB 1481 and are working to develop a plan that complies with the new law. More detailed information will be shared once an updated policy has been approved.

ATTENTION - We will have a Parent/Athlete Meeting on July 24th, 5:00pm in the PJH Cafeteria. The meeting will consist of general information pertaining to the upcoming school year for all athletics.
Please contact via email for any questions,
Thank you!

Schedule pick up for 7th and 8th grade students! July 31st in the PJH Cafeteria.

Next Tuesday is our first STAAR test, please keep the following in mind.

On March 26, 2025, the School Board of Trustees approved an amendment to the current school calendar. As a result, April 21, 2025, will serve as a Bad Weather Make-Up Day. Please note that both students and staff are expected to be present on this day. Thank you for your attention to this update.

The Pearsall ISD Board of Trustees would like to thank the staff, parents, and community for your survey input. Two hundred seventy-six surveys were completed during the open period. The survey results guided our decision making in choosing the best candidate for our new superintendent.
