What a great first week of school at Judson ISD! As I traveled around the district this week, I saw many happy students, teachers, and staff members. Along with the smiles were the normal first days of school challenges - traffic, car lines, new schedules, and more. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigate those first few days!
With the beginning of the year upon us, I want to stress the importance of our partnership with families. Our goal to see academic and personal growth for every student is impossible without your involvement and support. I encourage you to be active in your child’s school experience, whether that’s staying in close contact with teachers and school staff about your child’s academic progress or being part of a PTO or booster club.
Working together, our students are guaranteed the best opportunity to flourish academically and socially. I look forward to seeing each of you around the district. Let’s have an incredible year!
August 14, 2024 was the first day of school and it was a great success! Our halls were filled with smiles and energy ready to learn.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Judson ISD Board of Trustees appoints new Single Member District 5 Trustee
The Judson ISD Board of Trustees officially appointed Mr. Arnoldo Salinas as the new Single Member District 5 Trustee. The unanimous vote (5-0) took place during a special board meeting held in July.
“I am eager to rejoin the Judson ISD Family and feel that my wide and varied experiences uniquely qualify me for the position,” Salinas said. “My passion for community involvement and leadership is rooted in my experiences as a former educator, administrator and board member of Judson ISD.”
Salinas dedicated over 25 years of service to public education, spending 14 of those years as a teacher and administrator in the district. After retirement, Salinas returned to Judson ISD where he spent 8 years serving the students, staff and community as a board member.
The search for a new representative for District 5 began after the Board accepted the resignation of Single Member District 5 Trustee Jennifer Rodriguez in June. Less than one year remained on her term. Salinas will serve in this capacity until the next trustee election, which will be held in May 2025.

- Elementary Schools - Crestview ES | Olympia ES | Salinas ES | Rolling Meadows ES | Copperfield ES | Wortham Oaks ES
