Chromebook Drop-Off Plan for JISD Students
Judson ISD Technology Department has created guidelines for our students and staff to follow regarding device drop-off. When dropping off a device, we ask that you bring all the chargers and cords that may have come with it.
The Technology Department will be hosting central Chromebook Return Locations for our Virtual Students.
Virtual Return Dates: June 7 and June 8
Times: 5:00pm - 8:30pm

If your student plans on attending summer school, we ask that they please turn in their device, and we will re-assign them a Chromebook during summer school.
If you have any questions, please contact our Technology Department.

Drop-off locations will be at Judson High School, at the front of the school, and Wagner High School, on the auditorium side. Both locations will be picking up hotspots on June 7th from 10 am to 2 pm & 4 pm to 6 pm, and again on June 8th from 4 pm to 6 pm.
