Dual Credit
If you as a parent or a student have any of these questions, you will not want to miss the Dual Credit Meeting on March 4th @ 6:15PM.
MOCK - Interim Assesessments
BISD participates in all STAAR/EOC subjects and grade-levels. It is important that our testing environment mimic the actual STAAR day's processes so students have a quiet, safe, and productive space. We ask that parents make all efforts to have your child at school on these days so students have this experience and we get the most accurate results possible from the students. We use the results of the interim assessment to plan for intervention, tutoring, and test prep/strategies at each campus. Please play close attention to your child's school calendar to prepare for these assessments.
Read Across America
February 28-March 4 is Read Across America Week. Take time to read to your child or encourage them to read a book. There are so many benefits to hearing others read aloud to them.
Bowie Elementary is having theme days and will be having guest readers from the community read to classes and promote healthy reading habits.
Jackrabbit Preview
BHS be hosting Jackrabbit Preview on March 4th at 5:30 in the BHS Cafeteria. This will be for all incoming freshman for the 24-25 school year. Come learn about BHS classes, pathways, degree plans and extracurricular opportunities.
Fentanyl and Vaping Guest Speaker
DEA Agent, John Beasley, came to BHS and spoke to all grade levels about the dangers and reality of fentanyl and the life threatening consequences of this drug. He also talked about vaping and how this could lead to other negative choices in their lives. This presentation was factual, informational, and hopefully life changing.
