🌞 As the weather warms up and shorts start to make their way back into our wardrobes, let's remember to keep the BISD dress code in mind when choosing our outfits for school. 👚👖 Take a moment to check the BISD Dress Code visual and make sure the shaded blue area is covered: ✅ Shorts and skirts should be fingertip length or longer ✅ Shirts should cover the shaded blue area (no midriff showing and shoulders should be covered) Stay mindful when purchasing clothes and when your children leave each day for school. Let’s make this a great rest of the school year! 🌟

Bowie ISD will begin at 10:00 am on Wednesday, February 19th.  Although most roads are clear, there are some slick “black ice” spots throughout the entire district.  Parking lots and sidewalks have some slick spots as well.  This delay will allow buses, staff, and students to have ample time to cautiously arrive at school.  Stay warm!

BISD’s CTE programs were in the spotlight at the recent board meeting, featuring a fantastic presentation by Emma Halfmann, CCMR Coordinator. Board members were treated to a delicious dinner prepared by our talented culinary students, with impeccable flavor and presentation. To top it off, stunning floral arrangements from our floral design classes added the perfect finishing touch. We are incredibly proud of the outstanding programs, dedicated teachers, and hardworking students that make BISD exceptional! #Bowieibuilt
