March 6 - 10 is Texas Educational Diagnostician Week! La Joya ISD’s Educational Diagnosticians play a crucial role in ensuring student success. As a big part of the Special Education Department, diagnosticians work with students to learn how to best advocate for their educational needs. This helps provide students with the knowledge and skills to prepare them for life outside the classroom. These professionals work closely with families, teachers, and administrators to identify student needs, develop and monitor individualized plans to improve student progress, and collect data to measure success. Help us thank our La Joya ISD Diagnosticians for everything they do to ensure our students SHINE BRIGHT!!

March 4th is Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day, an opportunity to thank the dedicated La Joya ISD employees who keep our schools, libraries, gymnasiums and offices running smoothly. Maintenance workers, who include plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, carpenters, custodians and groundskeepers. We also extend our appreciation to the paraprofessionals employed in the department. Maintenance department employees fix and maintain facilities, machines and mechanical equipment. They often carry out many different tasks in a single day. They could work at any number of indoor and outdoor locations, including in less-than-ideal weather conditions such as extreme cold or heat. Take a moment to express gratitude to all who ensure our buildings are safe and in working order!
