					<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[The start of the new school year, August 18, is just around the corner.
BGISD request for parents to go on-line at ‘bgrove.org’, complete the necessary ‘Registration’ information for their child/ children. Parents may include more than one child on the ‘Parent Choice Commitment Form’ for registration. 

A huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone that have completed this registration task!

BGISD understands that everyone does not have the capability to go ‘on-line’ and complete registration.  

FOR ANY HIGH SCHOOL OR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL family that cannot go ‘on-line’ for registration, the computer lab at the junior high school will be available on Tuesday, August 11, 5:00 -8:00 PM to help HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL family with ‘on-line’ registration.  
Spanish translators will be available on that day.   
Only parents are needed for registration. We advise that students be left at home.  Social Distancing format will be followed.  Mask are required.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BGISD is working with a new photography company this school year. Many things have gone well, but a few things have not. Staff and high school pictures were originally printed and distributed without a background. This was a lab error and the pictures were reprinted with a blue background and distributed on Friday, October 25th.

A few people have noticed printing issues (discoloration, spots, lines, etc.) with their pictures.

					<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>
