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.
We hope to see all of Greyhound Nation show up again to support our Lady Greyhounds in the Area Round! #TaftPride
