WELCOME HOME TO BOWIE ISD, Miss Mary Beth Morrison!!
Miss Morrison will be joining Bowie Elementary School as a Kindergarten teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.
We had a few minutes to sit down and talk with Miss Morrison and here is what we learned about our new family member.
Where did you attend college and what degrees and/or certificates do you hold? I attended college at Stephen F. Austin State University. My degree is in Education and I hold my EC-6 Content Area with STR Teaching certificate.
How long have you been in education? This will be my first year in education.
Tell us a little about your previous experience. My previous experience comes from observations and my time as a student teacher. Both of these gave me great insight into what teaching looks like and how to get your classroom functioning properly. I learned to plan efficiently, how to make adjustments that worked for everyone, and to be flexible when things change in the moment.
What would you like to share about your family? I come from a small family. I have 1 older sister, 1 older brother, and 1 younger brother. My older sister lives in California, she's in the Airforce and has 2 daughters. My older brother lives in New Jersey. My little brother lives in Nocona. My mom has been working in the education system for 16 years. She's currently working at the middle school in Nocona. My dad works for United Rentals, he's been there for over 20 years now.
Would you like to share a fun fact? I don't really have any fun facts. If I had to share one, I would say my fun fact is I've been to New York City 6 times. I love New York City.
What do you enjoy outside of work? I enjoy traveling. I go on day trips all around Texas. I also enjoy hiking. I bring my dog with me and we'll hike for hours.
Can you tell us why you CHOSE BOWIE? I chose Bowie ISD because it felt like home. When I graduated college, I wanted to teach in a school that felt like home and felt like a family. I always imagined myself teaching in a school like that. Bowie ISD fits that description perfectly, everyone there is kind and so welcoming.
Again, WELCOME HOME MISS MORRISON!! We are excited to have you join us at BOWIE ISD!!

WELCOME HOME TO BOWIE ISD, Mrs. Cassidy Stewart!!
Mrs. Stewart will be joining Bowie Elementary School as a First Grade teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.
We had a few minutes to sit down and talk with Mrs. Stewart and here is what we learned about our new family member.
Where did you attend college and what degrees and/or certificates do you hold?
I attended college at West Texas A&M University where I received my Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies
How long have you been in education? I have seven years of experience in education.
Tell us a little about your previous experience. My teaching experience includes three years at the elementary level, followed by four years teaching middle school science.

Would you like to share a fun fact? I'm the youngest of five, night owl by nature, and an amateur dog breed expert.
What do you enjoy outside of work? In my free time, I enjoy reading and listening to audiobooks, and I have a growing collection of houseplants I love -- even if I can't always keep up with them.
Can you tell us why you CHOSE BOWIE? I chose Bowie ISD because of its strong sense of community, commitment to student growth, and supportive learning environment. I felt genuinely welcomed and excited to be part of a team that values both excellence in education and meaningful relationships.

🚨📱 New Texas Student Cell Phone Law 📱🚨
A new state law will impact student cell phone use starting in the 2025–2026 school year.
📜 Texas House Bill 1481, signed by Governor Greg Abbott on June 20, 2025, includes the following key requirements:
⭐ Students may not use cell phones inside school buildings during instructional hours.
⭐ All Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools must adopt and enforce policies to comply.
⭐ This includes devices such as cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, radio devices, paging devices, or any other electronic device capable of telecommunication or digital communication.
📌 Bowie ISD is currently awaiting further guidance from the Texas Education Agency regarding expectations and enforcement procedures.
Last year, BISD implemented several measures to limit cell phone use during instructional time. We are now reviewing how to align this new law with our existing processes.
As we prepare to implement this law, we respectfully request the support and understanding of our community. School districts are responsible for upholding all laws passed by our elected officials. We also ask for your grace and patience as we navigate this transition, and encourage everyone to look for the benefits this change may bring to student learning.
Thank you for partnering with us to create the best possible learning environment for our students! #Bowiebuilt

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.

🌟 Unsung Hero: Rhonda Pierce
This event is always a reminder of how lucky we are to have such passionate, dedicated people serving our students and community.
The end of the year brings joy, gratitude, a few bittersweet goodbyes, and the well-deserved rest that gets us ready for another amazing school year. #BowieBuilt
