Winter is expected to arrive in Bowie soon! We want to remind you that Bowie ISD will notify you of delayed openings or closures through our parent communication emails, texts, and social media posts. It will be reported to the local news stations so you can view them on TV. Before freezing temperatures enter the area, this is also a good time to make sure your child has proper outerwear (coat, gloves, etc.) If your child is missing these items, check your school's lost and found or notify the school of your needs. Stay safe and warm and we will see everyone on Monday for school!

BISD hopes everyone had a blessed Christmas break. We are ready to return to school and see all of our students. Monday, January 8, 2024 teachers return for a professional development day and the students return on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. During this first week back after the Christmas break, students will have regular school days Tuesday-Friday to get in our 4 days for the week.

Bowie Elementary and Bowie Intermediate were visited by JiJi, the main character in ST Math. They were so proud to take their picture with the inflatable JiJi today! WHAT IS ST MATH? It’s a K-5 visual instructional program that leverages the brain's innate spatial-temporal reasoning ability to solve mathematical problems. ST Math’s unique, patented approach provides students with equitable access to learning through challenging puzzles, non-routine problem-solving, and formative feedback.
