Jourdanton ISD

📚 Help Jourdanton ISD Maintain Strong Student Attendance 🌟 To ensure your student doesn't miss out on learning opportunities and to support our district's funding: - Schedule dentist and doctor appointments outside of school hours or in the afternoon to avoid full-day absences. - Plan family trips and vacations during scheduled school breaks whenever possible. - Keep sick children home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication to prevent spreading illness. - Sending a child to school sick can lead to more missed days for them and potential work days for parents. Let's prioritize attendance for a successful school year!

🎉 Exciting News from Jourdanton ISD! 🎉 We’re kicking off our Attendance Matters, You Matter campaign! 🎒📚 At JISD, we believe every student’s presence is a vital part of their success! That’s why we’re working together to boost daily attendance and make sure every student has the opportunity to thrive in school. ✅ Why it matters: Regular attendance leads to better learning, stronger friendships, and more opportunities for success! 🚨 Join us in the journey: Let’s make school attendance a priority! Together, we can achieve great things! 📅 Mark your calendars: Keep an eye out for fun incentives, challenges, and updates on how YOU can be part of the change. 💪 Attendance Matters.

Bella has done it again! Last night, Senior, Bella DeLeon competed but this time 'Unequipped.' She placed 2nd amongst a field of competitors that were lifting 'Equipped.' Bella's unequipped total of 910 pounds, places her first in the entire State of Texas for Unequipped lifters. She already holds first in the State for Equipped lifting. After posting the heaviest squat, of 375, Bella asked if she could attempt 405 pounds just for "funzies" and the judges were more than happy to accommodate her. The 405 pounds went up with ease as her teammates celebrated and on lookers just stared in amazement. Bella went on to bench 170 and deadlift 365. Juniors, Emelia Garcia and Jadie Apolinario had great nights and likely secured spots for Regionals. Big shout outs to Layla Lozano and Christal Gomez, as their strength and determination warmed the hearts of the spectators. Saturday powerlifters will be competing in Karnes City to better their totals in hopes of making Regionals.

The School Board was proud to recognize these staff and students at last nights meeting. Culinary FFA Life Skills Special Education

This past Wednesday the Jourdanton Girl's Powerlifting Team competed at Holy Cross High School. The event was loaded with big San Antonio Schools, but our lifters held their focus and all bettered their numbers on the season. Andria Gonzales, Kaylin Smith, Skyler Sexton and Amaya Loza are currently on the cusp of the top 12 in our Region. It was Senior, Bella DeLeon, however, who owned the spotlight. Bella began the night by burying her opening squat of 475 to impress the judges and then stunned the crowd when she locked out her 500-pound third attempt with ease. The show continued with Bella's bench press as she made 330 pounds defy gravity. Her total on the night earned Bella 1st place in her respective weight class and Best Lifter. Bella's total of 1,165 pounds places her first among all female lifters in the State of Texas. Great work Bella!!!
