Hello Yellowjacket Families!
Hard to believe we are in the last week of the 1st 6 weeks!! Whew!! Please visit with your student to ensure all of their work is turned in for the grading period. If your student has been absent, send any assignments they've completed at home, back to school.
Enclosed you will find information needed to help you navigate the school year. Please make yourself familiar with each week's newsletter. This will be our main source of distributing information for the campus. Our BIS Facebook page will be used for sharing the great things happening at BIS as well as quick updates and reminders. Our campus website is a great resource for information as well (www.boydisd.net)
We ask that if you have questions, please call our front office or email a staff member; we will not be responding via Facebook Messenger. We will always make it our goal to give you timely feedback.

Bullying intentional act that causes harm to others, and may involve verbal harassment, verbal or non-verbal threats, physical assault, stalking, or other methods of coercion such as manipulation, blackmail, or extortion. It is aggressive behavior that intends to hurt, threaten or frighten another person. An imbalance of power between the aggressor and the victim is often involved.
