Dear Judson ISD Families,

I hope you and your family enjoyed the Fall Break. The extra two days on either side of the weekend gave students, families, and staff a chance to rest and reset before we begin the long stretch leading into the holidays.

As we return from the short break, it's a great time to refocus on the importance of being at school each day. These next several weeks are critical for teaching and learning. When students are at school, they benefit from direct instruction, meaningful discussions, hands-on learning experiences, and connections with their teachers and classmates.

Good attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic success. Each day a student misses means missed opportunities to learn. Together, we can help students make the most of each school day.

Thank you for choosing Judson ISD and for being an active partner in your child’s education.

Dr. Ann Dixon
Interim Superintendent

Thank you to our amazing Child Nutrition team for all you do to support our students every single day! ❤️

Please join us in congratulating Aliyah Ardion, one of our outstanding Judson High School senior soccer players, on being named a KENS 5 All-Star Athlete! 🎉

Selected for the incredible impact she makes both on and off the field, Aliyah embodies what it means to be a student-athlete. For example she....

• Represented the U.S. Virgin Islands on the U17 National Team
• Is a member of Judson JROTC
• Maintains a 4.0 GPA
and MORE!!!!!

What athletic staff have to say about Aliyah:
"Aliyah is a dedicated scholar, and a compassionate leader who exemplifies excellence both on the pitch and in her community. Aliyah Ardion is a vital pillar of the Lady Rocket Soccer Program and a shining model of grit, grace, and leadership. She is thoroughly deserving of the KENS 5 All-Star Athlete distinction."

Judson ISD Families,

I hope you and your family have been staying dry during this rainy weather.
As we move into the fall and winter seasons, changing weather conditions may create challenges, especially for transportation. Please know that we will always work to communicate any delays, closures, or schedule changes as quickly as possible.

When weather impacts bus routes, students who arrive late to school because of bus delays will not be marked tardy. There is no need to contact your child's school, as bus drivers will notify campuses of delayed arrivals or pickups.

We appreciate your patience and understanding when weather conditions affect our operations. To make sure you receive important district updates, please take a moment to verify that your contact information is current in Skyward. Keeping your information updated helps ensure you receive timely notifications about any delays, cancellations, or other weather-related communications.

Thank you for your partnership and support.

Stay safe, stay dry, and thank you for being part of the Judson ISD family.

Dr. Ann Dixon
Interim Superintendent
