🚨 Important Vaccination Information for the 2025-2026 School Year 🚨 As we prepare for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, now is the perfect time to review your child’s immunization records. Texas State Law requires all students to have updated vaccination records or a valid exemption on file before the first day of school. ✔️ If your child is fully vaccinated or has a current exemption (expires every two years) already on file with the school nurse — No action is needed! ❗ If your child needs vaccinations or you have not submitted updated records, we encourage you to take care of this over the summer to avoid any delays in enrollment. 📄 Not sure what vaccines are required for your child’s grade level? Please review the attached PDF below for detailed immunization requirements by grade level.

Dear parents and families, Your child took the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) earlier this spring, and soon you will receive your child’s results. The state assessment is one of many ways to measure student learning. Teachers will use STAAR results along with other information to support your child’s learning in the new school year. Beginning June 10 for STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) assessments and June 17 for STAAR grades 3–8 assessments, you will be able to access your child’s STAAR results. You will access your child’s results through the Ascender Parent Portal. Your child’s STAAR results will include detailed information for each test question, identifying your child’s strengths and areas where your child may need additional support. For more information about STAAR, visit the Texas Assessment website at https://www.texasassessment.gov/staar.html To access your child’s test results, follow the steps created for Bowie ISD. https://bit.ly/3ThaRGL If you have further questions, you can contact your child's school.
