We have been asked to share this information with our 6th-grade families about their child's 5th-grade yearbook. Please see the flyer for more information. Your child will also receive a paper copy of this information at school.
Thanks and have a great rest of your day!
Thanks and have a great rest of your day!
BJH Parents,
Retakes are TOMORROW! These are the pictures used for our yearbook, so everyone will need to take one whether they purchase the pictures or not.
For any students who are having a retake made and would still like to purchase, they can use the following link:
https://gallery.impressionistportraits.com/bowie-junior-high-school---bowietx/uc26/
It includes free shipping.
If a student purchased a package and wants to do a retake, they just need to bring their package back tomorrow, and we will reprint it for free with the new picture (that information is also included on the flyer insert in their package).

Please join us in supporting the students who were lost in the past week. Please wear the colors to show the families that we are here to support and pray for them during this time.
6th grade will attend tomorrow. 7th grade will go on Tuesday, and 8th grade will have the opportunity on Wednesday. Everyone who missed their first opportunity or wants to buy more can attend on Thursday morning before Mrs. Egenbacher packs it all up. Send money (envelope preferred) or use the QR code on the image to set up an account. We hope our students can enjoy a few new items! Email Tiffany.Egenbacher@BowieISD.net for answers to your questions.
Coming next week to your BJH library!
Sneak peek after the Homecoming Pep Rally!
Set up a digital payment and keep your cash at home.

We will see you in the morning, BJH, looking your best!
Bring your best smile on Monday!
The first pep rally of the 26-27 school year!
BJH students will take their Beginning of the Year NWEA/MAP tests on Monday and Tuesday of this week. We will follow a different schedule attached to this note. Please encourage your student to do his or her best on these tests. The NWEA test is unique in that it has no "cap" on how far the student can go in terms of the level of the test questions. It tests more of their aptitude or abilities than whether they know their grade-level standards, which is more like the STAAR tests. We are off to a great start, and I'll share even more in a parent/student update coming soon!

BJH Families – First Day Parent Reminders!
We wanted to do one last check-in and answer a few common questions before tomorrow. Here are a few reminders to help make the first day safe and smooth for everyone.
Before School
Doors open at 7:20 AM. Students may not enter the building before 7:20, as there is no adult supervision. Please do not leave your child unattended.
Students are tardy at 7:50 AM. To help them have a calm, confident start to the day, please plan to have them out of the car by 7:40 AM.
Students should enter through the cafeteria entrance on Tarrant Street (the same entrance many of you used for Meet the Teacher).
After entering the building, students may report to the cafeteria or the auditorium.
No food is allowed in the auditorium, only the cafeteria.
Once students choose a location, they must remain there until the 7:45 bell.
Drop-Off Tips
Pull forward as far as possible so multiple vehicles can unload at the same time.
Do not drop students off on the side of Tarrant Street away from the junior high building. This requires students to cross the street, creating a safety concern.
Watch carefully for students exiting vehicles and staff members parking.
Another Drop-Off Option
N. Mill Street is an alternative.
Please use the lane closest to the school. Students can use the crosswalk to safely reach the building. This does require them to walk the length of the building on the sidewalk.
First Day Only Exception
If NO BUSES are in the gym bus lane, you may drop students off at the back gate. The gym door will be locked.
If buses are present, do not use the bus lane. Instead, pull into the gym parking lot and have your student exit there. They may use the crosswalk to reach the back gate.
This exception is for the first day only to help reduce traffic.
During School
Students should bring only what they can comfortably carry.
No pe/athletic clothes, band instruments, athletic equipment, etc. are needed tomorrow.
School supplies can be brought over the next three days, so there's no need to carry everything on the first day.
A reminder that BISD is still offering free breakfast AND lunch to ALL students.
After School
School dismisses at 4:05 PM.
Please plan to have your child picked up by 4:30 PM. Staff duty stations; therefore, student supervision ends at that time.
There are no after-school events/activities today, so please be prompt.
Tarrant Street pickup works best when vehicles pull as close as possible to the parked cars to keep traffic moving to the left side of the lane.
Please watch for students darting into the street. We tell them over and over and welcome the reinforcements from home.
N. Mill Street may also be used for pickup.
Please use the lane closest to the school whenever possible to avoid students crossing traffic or remind them to use the crosswalk.
No vehicles may enter the bus lane after school.
All afternoon pickup at the back of the school must take place in the gym parking lot, not the bus lane.
All students will be required to use the crosswalk. They will not walk between buses.
We are excited to welcome everyone back for an amazing 2026–2027 school year!
Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient. We know that your children are your greatest gift, and we appreciate the trust you place in us each day.
We'll see our Jackrabbits tomorrow morning!

BJH Parents,
We're excited to welcome our Jackrabbits tonight for Meet the Teacher!
Our cafeteria entry door and back gate will open promptly at 6:00 PM. All families should report to the cafeteria first to verify registration and updated shot records and pick up student schedules, supply lists, and school maps. While you're there, you'll also find a QR code to sign in for the evening. You only need to complete the sign-in one time per child. We will also have our back gate opened to allow parking in the gym parking lot. Please remember that you do need to report to the cafeteria even when parking in the back lot.
To help reduce hallway congestion and give our newest students a little extra time to get comfortable with the campus, we have suggested the following arrival times:
6th Grade: 6:00 PM
7th Grade: 6:30 PM
8th Grade: 7:00 PM
These are simply recommended arrival times—not a hard-and-fast rule—but we hope they will help create a smoother experience for everyone.
We can't wait to see our Jackrabbits and their families tonight. It's going to be a great year at #ourhouse!

Help us make a difference! As we all prepare for a new school year, consider setting aside any new or gently used clothing your family no longer needs. Our first Back-to-School Clothing Drive will help students and families shop for free during the BISD Back-to-School Bash on August 1. Every donation—whether it's a shirt, pair of jeans, shoes, or a jacket—helps ensure more students start the school year looking and feeling their best!
Drop off your clothing donations at Bowie Junior High (501 E. Tarrant St.) from July 20th--31st between 8:00 & 4:00. Then join us at the Back-to-School Bash at Bowie HS to celebrate our community and support Bowie ISD students.
Together, we can help every child start the school year strong. ❤️ #BowieBuilt
