					<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>

				<link>http://www.bgisd.org/apps/news/article/1408100</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bgisd.org/apps/news/article/1408100</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Monday, March 22nd, the elementary campus will be closed and students will learn remotely from home. This is for one day only. Detailed information will be sent home with each student by the end of the week.
Before any construction work at the elementary can begin, we must remove all the contents from the building. Before any removal can occur, the teachers and administrators need to inventory the damages. For this to be done correctly, the teachers will have to go through everything in their classrooms – books, curriculum, hand-made materials, personal items they use in the rooms, furniture, etc. We cannot expect the teachers to do this at night after teaching all day. So, in order for them to have the necessary time to conduct this inventory accurately, we are making Monday (3/22/21) a remote learning day for elementary student. We appreciate your continued support as we work through this process.
Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many of you, as well as many schools across the State, have experienced damage from the recent storms. The elementary campus experienced extensive damage. We have contractors and restoration companies onsite, working to make the campus safe for students and staff. It will take approximately two weeks before instruction can resume in the elementary school.
We have a plan for our elementary students to receive face-to-face instruction while the contractors work to make repairs. Corsicana ISD has generously made one of their unused buildings available for us to use during this time. Through a focused collaboration between our administrators and CISD staff, our students will be able to resume their education with little loss of time. It will require some flexibility, but our teachers and administrators are outstanding and will do all that is needed to make sure your children are in a safe and loving learning environment.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Elementary Students - Auditions for Little Mermaid]]></title>

					<description><![CDATA[The Little Mermaid auditions for elementary students are Wednesday, September 5th in the BGISD Auditorium from 3:45 (or as soon after school as they can arrive) until church time or when we finish, whichever comes first.  

Students will sing a verse and chorus of a song of their choice, either from the show (you can find the live musical songs on YouTube by searching The Little Mermaid stage or live), or from popular or church songs, or even "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," type songs.  Then, we will have them grouped together to read a scene, or if their reading level is not at a high proficiency yet, we will give them a show-related scenario and let them repeat some lines and play in character. (Everyone who auditions will receive a part in the play, whether a general ensemble role of under sea creatures or possibly a speaking role, so please tell your kids not to be too nervous about it.)

If you need additional information, contact Mrs. Kasprzyk at akasprzyk@bgrove.org.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Blooming Grove Elementary School announced a change to its policy for serving meals to children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2018-2019 school year. 
Schools qualifying to operate the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provide breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bgisd.org/apps/news/article/807469</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>
