Parents, we ask that you please not schedule appointments for our test takers on these dates.

Returning families for the upcoming school year, please make sure your address in Skyward is current. If not, please email a new proof of residency to bcastellanos@judsonisd.org or drop one off in person. Only current utility bills (CPS, SAWS) or lease agreements will be accepted.

The Reading Language Arts STAAR administration is just two short weeks away. We encourage you to take advantage of the resources posted here. Accessing the practice site and working just a few problems a night with your child can make a huge difference on his or her success. When accessing the online practice tests be sure to login as a guest.

Thank you for your partnership in helping our students shine!

The Federal Impact Aid survey is crucial for schools because it determines eligibility for federal funds. We truly appreciate your cooperation and thank you for your service!

Parents, we invite you to come eat lunch with your student during their lunch period on the stage. Here are a few reminders when eating lunch with your student:

• You may only eat with your child and not other children.
• If someone other than the people listed in your student's Skyward family portal is coming then you must email Ms. Allen or Mrs. Casstevens to give permission or they will not be allowed to eat with the student(s).

Our Ranger birthdays are special and we love celebrating our students. Please review our protocol for classroom birthday celebrations.
