Judson ISD Superintendent Message
May 13, 2024
After the service awards, the Spirit of Judson Awards were given out to someone from each campus who makes sure that students receive a quality education in and outside the classroom while also contributing something special to the campus.
We are incredibly grateful to have each and every one of these educators as part of the Judson ISD Family!
Bus Driver
Toni Kimble has been an employee of the Judson Independent School District Transportation Department for over eight years. During this time, she has maintained an outstanding driving record, positive relationship with her students, and professional connections with parents and colleagues, ensuring each day her students have an excellent bus riding experience.
Ms. Kimble is very punctual and always enquires to make sure she is performing and implementing procedures in the correct way. While her personality at first glance seems reserved, she has embraced new opportunities and successfully accomplished each task with excellence. As one of the lead drivers, she is a mentor and example to fellow co-workers bridging the gap between leadership and employees. In addition, she assists the training department with driver training, new bus assistant ride alongs and credential check. Besides that, she also volunteered to be the receptionist for school bus registration, greeting, assisting and directing parents through many important processes.
Bus Monitor
Lydia Chavez has been working at the Judson Independent School District for three years as a school Bus Assistant (Monitor). During this time, she has maintained a professional demeanor and exceptional work standards that embodies our motto, “Driven by Excellence.” Her ability to be flexible and quickly adapt to new circumstances is unwavering and reflects her personality.
As a McKinney-Vento Bus Assistant, Ms. Chavez has the responsibility of caring for and assisting students experiencing homelessness. Historically, these routes can vary in distance, behavior and level of care. Therefore, it requires a person with heartfelt compassion, uncompromised patience and proven punctuality and attendance. These qualities have been seen in Ms. Chavez as she performs her daily duties.
Sixth grade Judson ISD - Athletics NFL Flag Championship Night did not disappoint! The evening kicked off with a small pep-rally & ended with a great championship game between the Kirby Middle School Falcons and the Metzger Middle School Mustangs.

Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys-Metzger Mustangs for winning the Championship!
