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! 🎉✨
