BISD is proud to provide free breakfast and lunch for all students — because we believe every child deserves a healthy meal to fuel their day! Did you know we also offer a Smart Snacks program? Smart Snacks are a fun, low-cost way to reward students for a job well done. Most snack items are available for less than $2.00 and can be purchased after a student has eaten their lunch. Parents can easily add funds to their student’s “LunchMoneyNow” account by visiting the district website.

Bowie ISD will begin at 10:00 am on Wednesday, February 19th.  Although most roads are clear, there are some slick “black ice” spots throughout the entire district.  Parking lots and sidewalks have some slick spots as well.  This delay will allow buses, staff, and students to have ample time to cautiously arrive at school.  Stay warm!
