This is a fantastic alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating. Put on your costume, pull up in your car, and let the Judson ISD employees fill your bag with treats!
This event is FREE and open to the public. Don’t miss the fun! All participants must come in a vehicle; no walk-ups will be permitted. We encourage visitors to dress up and decorate their vehicles. Participants must enter the parking lot from Rocket Lane. They will then be directed around the complex. A map and directions will be posted the week of the event.
COVID – 19 Note: This event will be held outside. Please remain in your car at all times. Plan to attend this event with members of your household. FREE to the public.

Hispanic Heritage Month at Candlewood Elementary
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15), Candlewood Elementary hosted a fun Loteria event for staff, students, and parents on Wednesday the 15th. Dr. Ball even stopped by to call out the cards. Candlewood families also go to eat some delicious tamales! Below are some pictures of the event. What a great way to celebrate with the community!
Judson ISD would like to thank everyone who celebrated and shared their on-campus events with us.
Tell us your story!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Judson ISD's Multimedia Coordinator, Briana Estrada, at 210-945-5411 or bestrada@judsonisd.org. Thank you in advance for your participation.

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.
