Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! We have the absolute BEST at BGISD!

The district recently received notice that our request for a missed school day waiver was denied. When we submitted the waiver, we included the two weather days in January along with the closure that occurred at the beginning of the school year due to the catastrophic HVAC failure at the elementary campus.

However, the state did not recognize the early closure as a missed instructional day because school had not officially started. Since that day could not be counted, the district does not meet the waiver criteria based on minutes lost.

Because of this, Blooming Grove ISD will need to adjust the schedule in May to ensure we meet the state-required instructional minute requirements. The board approved moving May 4th and May 11th to instructional days.

Kindergarten graduation pictures have been scheduled for Thursday, April 23rd. Order forms will be sent home with students the week before.

Elementary spring portraits will be on Tuesday, April 22nd. Order forms will come home with students the week before.

This morning members of the Region 12 Technology Foundation were on campus to notify Lindsey Hale that she received the Region 12 Innovative Technology Grant in the amount of $12,600! Mrs. Hale's proposed project, Terra Nexus Project, combines technology, sustainability, and wonder with a solar-powered outdoor learning lab where students can explore the living ecosystem. Congratulations Mrs. Hale!
