Dear Judson ISD Families,
2021 ESC-20 TASB Superintendent of the Year
Summer Literacy Nights
Judson ISD is dedicated to fostering your child’s love for reading. Effective in June, we are launching Summer Literacy Nights every other week at all elementary campuses. We cordially invite all parents of elementary students to join us for fun-filled activities that will surely help your child excel in reading! Families will engage in hands-on activities modeled by campus teachers, and each night will focus on different components of effective reading instruction. What is best is that each student will get to take manipulatives to continue the learning at home. The activities families will engage in are based on the Science of Reading, which is evidenced-based instruction that, if used to fidelity, will help every child excel in reading.
These nights are only for current Kindergarten through 5th grade, and ONLY the first 50 students to register will be able to attend each night to ensure social distancing. Therefore, please take the time to register your child as soon as possible since registration closes on May 14th at 11:59 pm. Thank you in advance for your continued support in your child's educational endeavor. Together, WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE!
