October 14-18, 2024, is Digitial Citizenship Week. Throughout the week, students will be taught what it means to be responsible, act appropriately, be safe, and use the digital world to enhance their learning. With technology at students' fingertips 24/7, ensuring they behave appropriately in the digital world is more important than ever. Please join us in talking with your children about this very important topic.
Check out the Common Sense Education Website family resources page, which has grade-appropriate family conversations, tips, and activities you could use at home.

You can also watch this short video, "What is Digital Citizenship?", to help you start conversations with your children.

Bowie ISD will participate in the Farm Fresh Challenge throughout the month of October. The challenge is meant to be a month-long celebration of Texas agriculture and school meals. You will notice social media posts about activities, foods served in our cafeteria, resources, and student learning related to farm-fresh food and its benefits. We encourage you to talk with your children and participate in incorporating Texas-grown foods into your meals at home. #FarmFreshTexas #FarmFreshChallenge

Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. The attached information will help you learn about options for and how to talk to your child and others about the safe storage of firearms.
Safe gun storage protects our kids, prevents accidents, and keeps our guns out of the hands of criminals. Learn how to safely store firearms by using our Safe Gun Storage checklist and these other resources to talk about gun storage.
