It should be noted, however, that not all of the courses listed are scheduled every year. Since it is not economically feasible to schedule classes in which only a few students enroll, the class may not be offered for the current year. Sufficient numbers of student requests for specific courses then become the determining factor as to whether or not a course is scheduled. The Course Catalog provides a Table of Contents to assist in locating specific areas of information. The first section of the guide contains general information. The second section provides the specific description of courses by department and/or subject area. Descriptions, prerequisites, grade levels, and credits are listed for each course. The last section lists career education courses and information. The Course Catalog is also available online. www.judsonisd.org Items in the catalog are subject to change.

High School students will be following an innovative schedule. This will be our third year in Judson ISD with this wonderful schedule to provide the most opportunities for our students. More details are provided in the catalog. The Judson ISD High School Course Catalog has been designed to provide our students and parents with helpful information regarding the courses offered in Judson ISD. In order to make appropriate course selections for the 2021-2022 school year it is extremely important that you and your student become familiar with the course catalog. The Professional School Counselors (PSCs) of the Judson ISD Guidance and Counseling Department have an understanding of your student’s abilities and interests and will offer guidance and suggestions based on those abilities. It is imperative that your student make individual choices for his/her schedule. In order to prepare for this selection process students have taken career interest inventories and have explored colleges and careers. Please refer to this catalog to answer any questions about courses your child is interested in taking. Judson ISD intends to offer every course described in this course catalog; however, staffing, class sizes, and funding will determine course availability. After the registration window closes, course request changes may be made for extenuating circumstances. Changes made after the opening of the school year will be made for “leveling” class sizes, for administrative purposes, or for correcting errors and in accordance with the schedule change process in the course planning guide. Please make selections carefully. It is Judson ISD’s intent that your student has appropriate opportunities to select courses and makes the best possible choices. If you have any questions regarding particular courses and/or the course selection process, graduation requirements, or scheduling, please call your student’s counselor. We look forward to working with you and your student in preparing for a successful upcoming school year. Thank you for choosing Judson ISD.

    Judson independent school district JISD READS! English I – English II – English III – English IV English I Honors – English II Honors As we look forward to a productive 2020-2021 school year, we want our students to be as prepared as possible by practicing the activity that hones their skills: Reading! In an effort to promote a passion for reading, JISD asks students to independently read books of their choice during the school year, as well as in the summer months. Summer is a time for fun and relaxation, but also a time for consistent practice to keep your reading skills sharp. Research shows that if you do not read for several months, you lose some of your skill. Independent reading has many benefits: ● Support student’s growth ● Improves vocabulary ● Improves comprehension ● Improves test scores ● Improves writing skills *As students read this summer, it is highly encouraged that they annotate their books to help them develop good reading habits and comprehend the text. 1. Annotation directions and question stems have been provided. JISD students have access to a Digital Library on the link It’s important for parents to be involved below and on the JISD Portal! in book selections.
