Judson ISD Athletics is reinforcing the importance of classroom attendance through its Attendance Improvement Movement, an initiative designed to support the districtโs focus on student success by encouraging athletes to be present and engaged in their studies. ๐ซ
The effort highlights a core belief within JISD Athletics that achievement in sports begins with commitment in the classroom. By emphasizing the connection between attendance and academic performance, coaches are asking student-athletes to set the standard for their peers.
โRecognizing our student-athletes for exceptional attendance is one of the most meaningful honors we present because it reflects commitment, discipline, and accountability far beyond the playing field,โ said Triva Corrales, executive director of athletics. โOnly a small percentage of our athletes achieved this distinction, making it a truly special accomplishment. Their dedication to being present every day demonstrates the type of character and consistency that leads to success in athletics, academics, and life.โ
As part of the initiative, JISD Athletics recognized middle school and high school athletes who had eight or fewer absences for the entire year were awarded certificates for their commitment to being present for instruction, while high school athletes received an additional honor with a patch for their letter jackets.
Across the district, campuses celebrated a significant number of student-athletes who met the attendance benchmark. At the middle school level, Cibolo Creek Middle School recognized 92 student-athletes, Judson Middle School 79, Kirby Middle School 42, Kitty Hawk Middle School 128, Metzger Middle School 33, and Woodlake Hills Middle School 59. At the high school level, Veterans Memorial High School recognized 116 student-athletes, Judson High School 78, and Wagner High School 43.
The recognition highlights the importance of daily attendance and the habits that support both academic and athletic success, with coaches and staff across the district reinforcing expectations and celebrating their athletesโ efforts.
Congratulations to all the student-athletes who made attendance a priority this year! ๐โจ
