Message to Parents from Dr. Rob Fields
This time of year, many things are happening around our district. Please be sure to stay connected through your campus newsletters, websites, social media, and email. One of the important things happening is returning student registration. Returning student registration opened April 15, so be sure to register your child for the 2024-2025 school year. It only takes a few minutes, so we ask that you help our campus planning by completing the online process as soon as possible. As a reminder, applications for Innovation Campuses are still open and can be completed here.
We value the partnership we have with you and take our responsibility to provide the very best educational environment to every student at JISD.
Get ready for the 2024-2025 school year!
Registration for Returning Families is NOW OPEN 15 and New Students on May 20, 2024.
Get ahead of the game by taking just a few minutes to get your student(s) set for the 2024-2025 school year. You can begin the process here.

Hopkins Little Library
On Friday, April 12, Joseph Hopkins Elementary School received a community Little Locker sponsored by Cavender Auto Family. The TEXAS YES Project is excited to launch the Little Locker Project in Judson ISD! The inaugural Little Lockers at Masters Elementary School and Rolling Meadow Elementary School were the first of many to come.
What is a Little Locker? Similar to a ‘Little Library’, students and community members can visit any of our Little Lockers and borrow a book to read. Each locker is filled with books throughout the year and crafts through the extended breaks. This program is free to the campus, district, and community. TEXAS YES will supply all books, crafts, maintenance, and support for the Little Lockers.

Month of the Military Child – Judson ISD goes Purple!!
April is the Month of the Military Child. Judson ISD honors, celebrates and pays tribute to the district’s youngest heroes. These children are committed and make numerous sacrifices, while wholeheartedly supporting their military member parents.
The Judson ISD Board of Trustees signed a proclamation for the Month of the Military Child at the March school board meeting, indicating the tip-off of our month-long celebrations.
Across the nation, states and school districts are celebrating the important role military children play while their service member parents serve our country through special events and by wearing the color purple.
Here at Judson ISD, we are “1 Home 1 Family”. Together, we can make a difference and demonstrate to our military-connected students that they matter.
"Month of the Military Child" goody bag
In honor of #PurpleUp Day Ms. Colemen, a former military-connected student and a current kinder teacher at Paschall elementary, went all the way out for every military-connected student enrolled at her campus. She showed her dedication, support and appreciation by treating each of the students with a "Month of the Military Child" goody bag.
Ms. Coleman recognizes the sacrifices military children at Paschall Elementary School face as they serve our nation and district. The special effort to lift up our military families and to salute them for their resilience demonstrates the appreciation and care that she has for all students.
