Bowie Elementary School

We are very excited to start the 24-25 school year in Bowie ISD! We hope you all join us tonight for Meet the Teacher.

We are quickly approaching the 24-25 school year, and with all the excitement comes lots of events, new information, and the need for a calendar to keep up with it all. Bowie ISD provides a digital monthly newsletter for all stakeholders to view. This newsletter will be sent in an email, text to families, posted on our website, and located on the district and campus Facebook pages. It is very important to stay current on the district's latest celebrations, news, calendars, and happenings. We hope you find the #Bowiebuilt Newsletter helpful throughout the year. #Bowiebuilt https://secure.smore.com/n/sfdan-bowiebuilt

BISD welcomes all new and returning substitutes for the 24-25 school year. If you desire to become a substitute in our district, please apply through the Region 9 website and attend a BISD New Substitute Training. Substitute information can be found on the Bowie ISD website at this link - https://www.bowieisd.net/page/substitute-teachers If you are a returning substitute, you will receive an email with a training video to watch and a form to complete. Returning substitutes do not need to attend face-to-face training. We can not thank our returning substitutes enough for their service and look forward to adding additional substitutes this year. #bowiebuilt
