Message to Parents from Dr. Jeanette Ball
Dear Judson ISD Families,
Judson ISD Calendar Update
At the regular board meeting on December 17, 2020, the Judson ISD Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to designate five asynchronous learning days for all students. The decision was made to give teachers additional support and to ensure the best learning opportunities for all students. The days will be used for teachers and staff to plan and prepare enhancements to both in-person and virtual instruction.
Students will be expected to participate in asynchronous lessons remotely. If a child has an extenuating circumstance or a need to attend asynchronous classes on campus, families must contact the campus directly. The following days are designated as asynchronous only days on the approved calendar:
- Monday, January 4, 2021
- Tuesday, January 5, 2021
- Friday, February 5, 2021
- Monday, March 15, 2021
- Friday, April 16, 2021
Join the Judson ISD Family
There is a great need for additional reliable substitute teachers to help in classrooms where our teachers are at home teaching remotely. If you or someone you know is willing and available to help as a substitute teacher, visit our JISD Employment website to complete the application. Other critical need areas include: Adventure Club Aides, Special Education Aides, and Custodians.
Please feel free to contact 210-945-5101 if you have questions.

Tre Flowers & Boar’s Head Ham Giveaway
NFL Seattle Seahawk Cornerback, Tre Flowers gives back to his home community. The holiday season brings extra stress for families across the district, from finding a way to put presents under the Christmas tree to buying extra groceries. Mr. Flowers understands the strain and difficult circumstances some families might be in this holiday season and wanted to give back to his alma mater of Judson ISD. On Thursday, December 17th, 150 families from Woodlake Hills Middle School received a Boar’s Head ham to help alleviate some sort of holiday strain. Judson ISD is proud to have alumni like Mr. Flowers and the partners from Boar’s Head who are able to give back to our families.

Free/Reduced Lunch Applications: It Still Matters
The Judson ISD Child Nutrition Department wants you to know that even though all meals are no cost to students through the end of 2020, the Free/Reduced Price Meal applications are still critical…to you and your student because it’s about more than just food.
Did you know that this application also...
- Can provide discounted fees to register for AP tests (from $64 to $18)
- Help pay fees to participate in sports
- Can reduce costs of college applications (discounted or even no cost)
- Help you qualify for low-cost internet service
- Has a bearing on funding for school programs and services for students
The no-cost meal program will, at some point, end and we want to make sure that your child gets a nutritious meal without financial roadblocks. See if you qualify. Or, you can get going by filling out the Free/Reduced Meal application now.
These applications are accepted all year, but the earlier you apply, the sooner you can benefit from meals and discounts.
*Note: If your child attends a CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) designated school, you do not need to submit this application.
