Welcome Back Bulldogs
We are so excited to launch the 2025-26 school year and have all of our Bulldogs on campus. The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 11 with a special schedule. All new incoming freshmen as well as new transfer students will come at 8am in full uniform for the New Student Orientation. Returning students in grades 10-12 start their day at 11am in uniform for a one-hour technology checklist. School ends at noon for everybody and the entire student body is then invited to join us for a pizza social on The Beach. See the attached first week of school "Bulldog Living" schedule. There will be early dismissals each day, including 1pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and noon on Friday.
Please check your emails for the school's parent newsletter, the Bulldog Broadcast — it includes valuable back-to-school information — which has been sent each Thursday since July 31. Some school uniform inventory is available in the Spirit Shop but uniforms can also be ordered through Tommy Hilfiger online. New this year, opaque tights that can be black, white or navy blue are required year-round with khaki skirts. Textbooks can also be purchased online. Teachers will communicate directly with students regarding texts and required e-books. The 2025-2026 Judge school calendar can be downloaded to your Google Calendar on any mobile device. Student cell phones are not permitted and must be stored in lockers throughout the school day. Students caught with cell phones during school hours will be written up and multiple offenses will result in contact with parents and fines.
All students are required to bring a charged laptop to school everyday to use in class. For details on the approved laptops, consult our Bring Your Own Device policy. Returning families will be familiar with loading lunch payments via their Parent Skyward accounts. Skyward sign up information was sent to new parents. You can also see this step-by-step guide on how to make lunch payments on Skyward throughout the school year.
Finally, bus and FrontRunner options are available for signups under Parking & Transportation on our Resources page and you can find much more on our website, judgememorial.org.
Enjoy this last weekend of summer vacation. We are looking forward to ushering in the new school year together and will be ready to welcome all of our students on Monday.
