					<description><![CDATA[We are incredibly proud to celebrate two outstanding Blooming Grove Junior High students who recently represented our school at The Amazing Shake Global Competition at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia! 

This competition challenges students to demonstrate professionalism, confidence, communication skills, and character in real-world scenarios.

Throughout the experience, they competed against 500+ students from 27 states and 3 countries. They navigated high-level challenges, and showcased the values that make Blooming Grove ISD so special. Their hard work, courage, and leadership did not go unnoticed, and they represented our community with excellence.

Please join us in congratulating these two remarkable students for stepping outside their comfort zones and representing BG on a global stage!

					<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[💎✨ BLING BLING REPORT – Region 3 Unequipped Regional Powerlifting Meet | Royse City ✨💎

The platform was set, the lights were bright, and our girls delivered at the Region 3 Unequipped Regional Powerlifting Meet in Royse City on Tuesday! From first attempt to final pull, strength, and heart were on full display.

🏅 4th Place – 198 lbs
🔥 Gracie Jacinto (JR)
🏅 7th Place – 114 lbs
🔥 Maeli Lawhon (SR)

Everyone hit a new PR in at least one lift — proof that preparation met opportunity. That’s what competing with confidence, composure, and courage looks like! 💪⚡

These young women didn’t just lift weights — they represented with class, focus, and relentless determination. The coaching staff couldn’t be prouder of the fight they showed on every attempt.

And to our unequipped senior — a back-to-back Regional Qualifier — your leadership has set the standard. Your legacy is built on consistency, toughness, and heart. 🌟

The bar keeps rising — and so do we. 💎💪]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of our buses (Bus 23-1 previously 32) was involved in a rear-end collision this morning in Emhouse when it was struck by a truck. EMS is on site and evaluating all students. At this time, there are no major injuries, but out of an abundance of caution, each student is being individually checked.
Another BGISD bus is currently en route to transport students back to campus. Campus administration will begin contacting parents as soon as possible with individual updates.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work to ensure the safety and well-being of all students involved.
John Griggs 
BGISD Superintendent

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uno de nuestros autobuses (autobús 23-1, anteriormente 32) sufrió un choque por alcance esta mañana en Emhouse al ser impactado por un camión. El servicio de emergencias médicas se encuentra en el lugar evaluando a todos los estudiantes. Por el momento, no se reportan heridos de gravedad, pero por precaución, cada estudiante está siendo revisado individualmente.
Otro autobús del Distrito Escolar Independiente de Boise (BGISD) se dirige actualmente a transportar a los estudiantes de regreso al plantel. La administración escolar se comunicará con los padres lo antes posible para brindarles información actualizada.
Gracias por su paciencia y apoyo mientras trabajamos para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de todos los estudiantes involucrados.

					<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday, our administration team was notified by the company performing HVAC optimization on each campus that our air ducts at the elementary were collecting significant condensation. This immediately triggered a response to address the issue. Condensation and moisture in our system are not things we can overlook or delay. 

Our team has worked quickly to ensure the problem is resolved while closely monitoring the air quality in our elementary school. The safety of our students and staff is always our number one priority. Unfortunately, this problem was not discovered until late in the summer, but a solution and action plan were put into place immediately. The company has been working around the clock to make the necessary repairs.

In the best interest of our students and staff, we have made the difficult decision to delay the start of school. While we know this is not ideal for everyone, it is important to us that our elementary school is fully ready to welcome our amazing students. 

Our first day for students will now be Thursday, August 14.
We are pleased to share that the district has banked instructional minutes, so these missed days will not need to be made up later in the year.

Schedule updates:

Meet the Teacher and Meet the Lions are rescheduled for Tuesday, August 12. Times and details will be shared soon.


Please know these decisions are never made lightly and are always made with the best interest of our students and staff in mind. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and continued support. We’re committed to starting the year off right, safe, ready, and excited to welcome everyone back.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We want to once again express our sincere gratitude to the Blooming Grove community for your overwhelming support of the 2025 BGISD Bond. Your trust and belief in our vision mean the world to us, and we are incredibly excited about what this bond will make possible for our students, staff, and the entire community.

From the beginning, our commitment was clear: to develop a bond plan rooted in strong core values, values we will not stray from. This bond is designed to positively impact as many students and staff as possible, while also deepening the connection between BGISD and the broader Blooming Grove community through expanded CTE opportunities and modernized learning environments.

Now that the bond has passed, we are turning vision into action. We’ve entered the early planning stages, and our administrative team is working closely with our architects to ensure every dollar is used wisely, delivering maximum benefit to our schools and community.

The initial design is a work in progress. While we are excited to share early ideas, it is important to remember this is just the beginning. As we move through each phase, designs and plans may evolve. We fully expect adjustments and improvements along the way as more voices join the conversation and we work to meet the needs of those who this will directly impact, our students, staff, and community. Take a look at some of the work that is being done!

We are committed to transparency throughout this process. Each month, we will be sharing updates to keep our community informed and involved. Be on the lookout for these exciting updates. Great things are ahead for BGISD!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BGISD Families,
Our team assessed the roads this morning and found that some areas are very wet, and a few are even washed out. Because our district covers a large area and many of our buses travel on gravel roads, we want to proceed with caution. Out of an abundance of caution, we will continue with our pavement-only bus procedure this afternoon, Friday, April 25, 2025. 
We will reevaluate road conditions over the weekend. With some expected sunshine, we are hopeful that regular pickup procedures will resume by Monday.
Thank you for your understanding and support!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Based on staff and community feedback, we felt it was important to create a calendar option that provides more consistency with the 4 day weeks while also allowing us to continue to follow a hybrid schedule. With Calendar Option C, there are 5 day instructional weeks to begin the semester and the 4 day instructional weeks will begin the week of September 23rd and continue for the remainder of the school year.  In order to accomplish this, the school day for the elementary will begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 3:49 p.m. and the JH/HS will start at 7:40 a.m. and end at 3:59 p.m. The addition of these minutes to the school day allows us to provide more 4 day instructional weeks. Additionally, beginning the year with 5 day instructional weeks will allow teachers to have the time to put procedures in place that are necessary for a successful start of the school year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Blooming Grove ISD Families,

This afternoon, the fire alarm was triggered in the cafeteria at Blooming Grove Elementary. I want to take a moment to commend the outstanding response of our BGE staff and students. Everyone evacuated the building quickly, calmly, and efficiently, exactly as we have practiced during drills.

The Corsicana Frost and Blooming Grove Fire Departments arrived promptly on-site and determined that the source of the alarm was smoke, potentially coming from an AC unit. Thanks to everyone’s quick action, all students and staff were immediately accounted for, and the situation was handled with the utmost professionalism.

Thank you, BGE staff, for ensuring the safety and well-being of our students. You all continue to set the bar high!

We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Corsicana, Frost, and Blooming Grove Fire Departments for their quick response and assistance. Their professionalism and expertise ensured the situation was resolved swiftly and safely!

To our parents, we’d like to remind you that the best way to stay informed about BGISD alerts and updates is through the BGISD app, our district website, and social media channels. These platforms provide timely and accurate information during events like today’s.

Amazing job, BGE!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We invite you to join us for our first play of the year, EPIC PROPORTIONS. It is  under the direction of our new theater arts teacher, Kaiden Maines. 
"Set in the 1930s, EPIC PROPORTIONS tells the story of two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in the huge Biblical epic Exeunt Omnes. Things move very quickly in this riotous comedy and before you know it, Phil is directing the movie, and Benny is starring in it. To complicate matters further they both fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of the extras. Along the way there are gladiator battles, the Ten Plagues and a cast of thousands portrayed by the actors."
Here is a list of dates and times and a link to purchase your online tickets! Seating is limited, so don't wait!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To ensure all players, coaches, officials, and spectators are kept safe when attending a competition at Italy High School, we would like to share these guidelines with your appropriate staff, parents, and players. Our dome gymnasium can hold the capacity in which our school and your school will occupy with ease and all capacity guidelines will be met. 
Posted at the front entrance of our dome gymnasium, there are important questions that each spectator must answer honestly, before entering our facility. We will be charging $5 for adults, and $3 for students. We will accept the following passes: Senior Citizen, TGCA, THSCA, and District.
We ask that everyone will practice social distancing and wear their face masks when sitting in the bleachers or gymnasium seats. Handicap seating will be located on the bottom 2 rows of the bleachers. We will have signs indicating their reserved seats.
Last, we will not have a concession stand, as of yet. But, we will have a KONA ICE truck outside of our dome serving snow cones and drinks. Please, make sure to have your hand marked by our gate keeper, so you may re-enter after purchasing a treat from the KONA ICE truck.]]></description>

Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when you
cough or sneeze. No tissue around? Your sleeve will do.

WASH YOUR HANDS
Wash your hands often. Scrub for at least 20 seconds
with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.

STAY HOME
If you get sick, stay home until you’re well so you don’t
spread your germs. Steer clear of others who are sick.

If your child is running fever, keep them home until they have been 24-hours fever free.

We appreciate you visiting with your children about today and also about protecting the privacy of this student and their family.

				<link>http://www.bgisd.org/apps/news/article/807414</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bgisd.org/apps/news/article/807414</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[We are seeing many cases of flu and strep. Please help us keep the illnesses down by doing the following:
1. Wash your hands frequently. Soap and water are the best. Hand sanitizer works when you cannot use soap and water. 
2. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, then wash your hands.
3. Stay home until you are 24 hours fever free without taking any medicine.
Students can bring hand sanitizer and a bottle to drink water out of to avoid sharing germs.
Please remember that returning to school before you are well or fever free makes it easier to get sick again and exposes others to the germs. 
Thank you for your cooperation,
Cheryl Hollingsworth, RN
BGISD District Nurse]]></description>
