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!!

School Social Workers rise to share hope. They rise to listen and understand. They rise to challenge inequities. They rise to support all students.They rise to ensure our district SHINES BRIGHT.

Join us in celebrating #NSBW23 March 6-10 to highlight the importance of #schoolbreakfast and the critical role school nutrition professionals play in helping children succeed in and out of the classroom. Studies show that students who eat #schoolbreakfast reach higher levels of achievement in math and reading, score higher on standardized tests and have better concentration and memory. Let's ensure our students have school breakfast.

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!
⏰ Friendly Reminder! NO CLASSES tomorrow Friday, March 3. We will be having an Inservice Day for staff. Classes will resume on Monday, March 6, 2023.

Welcome to Emiliano Zapata Elementary
Principal Rosa Gonzalez Vela
Our vision is to provide students with an educational experience that inspires and motivates them to be lifelong learners and productive citizens. It is our priority to provide a safe environment that meets the individual needs of each student both academically and socially.
Families, teachers, support staff, community members, and administration all play a part in helping our students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we can make a positive difference. A strong partnership between home and school fosters greater success for our children. We encourage parents to communicate with teachers and staff to foster a successful partnership.
Welcome to Emiliano Zapata Elementary
Principal Rosa Gonzalez Vela
We are excited for the opportunity to work with you and your child to provide a safe and productive learning environment. I encourage you to stop in or call me to share ideas, concerns, or questions. I wish your family, and especially your student, great success this school year.
Shine Bright and Show Your Zapata Pride!
On December 7, 2022 the Zapata music choir directed by Mr. Pepito, went caroling around the community. The students shared their love for music with commissioner Everardo Villareal, Judges Dr. Sonia Treviño and JJ Peña, the WIC office staff, Theracare Rehabilitation Center and HEB staff and costumers in Palmview. This was a great opportunity for our students to get to meet our wonderful community leaders and at the same time our leaders got to meet and hear our magnificent Zapata choir.
