Military Family & College Readiness

Military Families  

Welcome to the Judson ISD family! Our goal is to make your transition to our district as smooth as possible. Judson ISD provides support to military-connected students and their families to help ease the challenges they face due to transitions. Frequent mobility often affects student's educational, social and emotional livelihood. We provide strategies and opportunities for success to create a positive school climate that addresses the social and emotional needs of military-connected students. We intend to make sure military-connected students receive the quality education they deserve.
