Bowie Elementary School

BES was blessed with a parking lot refresh! With this refresh the drop off and pick up procedures will be changing. Parents will enter Cosby Lane from Upper Montague Road. You will follow the arrows. We ask that our Lil Jackrabbits are in the backseat driver side. This will ensure the safety of our staff and your child. Once your child is unloaded, you may exit LEFT or RIGHT onto Lovers Lane.
For PICKUP parents will form TWO LINES on COSBY Lane. The TWO lanes will merge into one at the curve. There will be one line on the straight away. Staff will load your child.
We know this will be a very new procedure for BES, so please be patient as we all get used to this. We will release a video later to show you STEP by STEP.

Parents may walk their child into school on the First Day, Wednesday, Aug 5th. Please be mindful of the new traffic pattern and car drop off duty! The Car Tag Table will be set up outside for you to get your child’s car tag. ❤️

Update: The Bowie Elementary Parking lot will be closed starting Wednesday, July 15th. This will effect access to the front office. Please call 940-689-2950 for assistance or park on Lovers Lane and walk on the sidewalk/grass to access the front door. Thank you for understanding as our parking lot is getting a much needed refresh.

🚨 Important Vaccination Information for the 2026-2027 School Year 🚨

As we prepare for the upcoming 2026-2027 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.
