During the 89th Legislative Session, Texas passed HB 1481. This law bans the use of personal electronic devices during the instructional day. This means students may not utilize cell phones, headphones, earbuds, or tablets from 8:40am to 4:20pm. Please discuss with your student this state law. Teachers and administrators will confiscate phones for parent pick-up.

Here is the Rocket Weekly for this week: tinyurl.com/RocketWeekly8-11-26
The Judson FFA program is celebrating a remarkable summer as several educators and district leaders received prestigious awards recognizing their impact on agricultural education and student success. These honors reflect the dedication and excellence that continue to define Judson ISD's agricultural science programs.
Leading the list of honorees is Michaela Steele, who was named the 2025-2026 Outstanding Area VII Administrator. This award recognizes school administrators who provide exceptional support for agricultural science and FFA programs, helping students thrive through leadership development and hands-on learning opportunities.
Judson FFA educators also earned top recognition from the Texas FFA Association. Jordan Waddle, a 2013 Judson High School graduate and former Judson FFA President, received the Area VII Outstanding Young Teacher Award. Jay Trees, a 1986 Judson High School graduate, was honored with the Area VII Outstanding Experienced Teacher Award. These awards recognize agricultural science teachers who demonstrate excellence in instruction, student leadership development, and innovative learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
At the Texas FFA State Convention, both Jay Trees and Jordan Waddle received the Honorary Lone Star FFA Degree, one of the highest honors awarded by the state association. The recognition is reserved for individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing agricultural education and the FFA program through outstanding service, leadership, and dedication to students.
Adding to these accomplishments, Jay Trees was elected State President of the Texas FFA Alumni Association, an organization that supports more than 159,000 members across Texas. A lifelong advocate for agricultural education, Trees has been involved with the Texas FFA Alumni Association since 1994 and helped charter the Judson FFA Alumni and Supporters chapter in 2005. His election reflects decades of leadership and commitment to creating opportunities for FFA students throughout the state.
Together, these achievements highlight the strong tradition of excellence within the Judson FFA program and the lasting impact of the educators and leaders who dedicate themselves to student success. Congratulations to Michaela Steele, Jordan Waddle, and Jay Trees on these well-deserved honors and for continuing to make Judson ISD proud.
