BISD would like to say "Thank you" to our amazing School Board. January is School Board Appreciation Month and we are truly Blessed to have the School Board members we have.
Being a School Board member is oftentimes a thankless volunteer job. But our Board members view it as a true act of service to our students, staff, and community. Their vision has set BISD up for success and we could not be more appreciative of them.
Due to hazardous roads, especially in our rural areas, we will be cancelling school for tomorrow, January 10th. Roads will refreeze tonight and will not thaw before our buses would leave for their routes. We realize it will probably be clear by 11:00 am, but that is too late to get kids to school safely.
Stay Safe!
Due to hazardous driving conditions, BISD will not have school today. We will notify you later this evening about Friday's situation.
Stay safe!
Out of an abundance of caution, BISD will delay the start of school tomorrow, Jan 9th exactly 2 hours from our normal start times. Buses will run two hours later than normal. We will assess the situation again in the morning and will call if we need to cancel school. If we decide to cancel, we will call by 7:30am.
🎄 That's a wrap on the fall semester!
To all our amazing students - enjoy your well-deserved break! Time to rest, recharge, and make some great holiday memories. We've loved having you in class and can't wait to see your smiling faces back on campus on January 7th!
Have a fantastic holiday break! 🎉✨
