Hello Ranger Families!
We are gathering some information so we can evaluate our progress so far this school year, and help make plans for the rest of the school year. We could really use your input! Will you please use the link below to complete this brief survey to help us? The information will be considered and used for planning. Thanks so much!

Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Judson Independent School District is eligible to apply for Federal Impact Aid funds to operate and maintain our schools and enrich programs under Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Public Law 103-382. Judson ISD is entitled to these funds based on the district's enrollment of students whose parents are federally connected, such as active-duty service members or civilians employed on federal property. The Department of Education requires our school district to survey every student to determine eligibility and show a record of our claim. It is essential that people who are federally connected complete this survey. The survey date is October 30, 2025.
How to complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey in Skyward:
1. Log in to your Skyward Parent Portal.
- Look for the Federal Impact Aid tile and click on it to start the survey.
2. Review Student Information
- If any contact information is incorrect, stop and contact your school's registrar to get it corrected before completing the form.
3. Answer Questions ️
- Answer Yes or No to the active-duty military question.
- Follow on-screen instructions to answer the remaining questions.
- Please ensure federal property addresses are complete.
- Dual Military Families: If both parents are active-duty, only use one parent's information to
complete the form.
4. Complete for Every Child
- You must complete a separate online form for each child you have enrolled in Judson ISD.
5. Sign and Submit
- Digitally sign the form and click Submit.
- School staff will need to contact you if any information is incomplete.
Please submit the Federal Impact Aid Survey as soon as possible. If you have questions, contact the school or Jessica Duff, Military Family and College Readiness Specialist, at jduff@judsonisd.org.
