A Note from the Principal
Dear Bobcat Families,
We had a wonderful week celebrating Valentine's Day and Kindness Week here at Bush. Our students enjoyed their class parties and have been talking to us about how they are spreading kindness. We are so proud of them!
Just a reminder, students have a four day weekend. Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 21. Next week we are looking forward to 4th Grade Open House and Fine Arts Night. Next Friday, we will be celebrating Go Texan Day! Your child is welcome to wear western wear.
Also, the last day to order a yearbook is March 1! If you haven't already, please go to our PTO website and order your child a yearbook!
Have a great weekend! We look forward to seeing our Bobcats on Tuesday!

Transportation Changes
Transportation changes must be made in writing before 2:00 PM. We cannot accept transportation changes by phone. To submit a transportation change, you may send a written note to the front office with the following information:
- the date
- your child's full name
- homeroom teacher
- bus number (if applicable)
- your signature
If an emergency arises, you may send an email to bush@conroeisd.net. The e-mail must include all of the above information and must be received before 2:00 PM. If you submit a transportation change by email, it must go to the email address referenced above. Teachers do not check their email regularly throughout the day, so transportation changes should not be emailed directly to the teacher. Please send a new note for each day the change occurs; we cannot accept notes for multiple days or with multiple changes. District policy states that a student may only ride the bus they are registered to ride; students may not have a transportation change to ride a different bus.

The safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance. Over the past decade, Conroe ISD has spent millions of dollars on a layered approach to campus safety including the installation of secure entrances and vestibules along with adding security cameras throughout our schools. Our greatest safety measure, however, is vigilance. Please report any suspicious activity or suspected dangers to the appropriate authorities.
