Dear Bowie High School families, As you may have heard, there is a video that has been shared among students showing a physical altercation at Bowie. The situation is being investigated by administrators and Austin ISD Police, but we can say that the content of the video is disturbing. ORIGINAL MESSAGE SENT VIA EMAIL 10/15/21

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! EXAM INCENTIVES RESUME: To promote attendance, Bowie implemented a semester exam incentive program several years ago. The program allows qualifying students to replace their exam grade with a higher semester average in up to two classes. However, to stress the importance of individual responsibility in halting the spike of infection and severe illness caused by Covid-19, Bowie suspended the semester exam attendance incentive program for the 1st nine weeks grading cycle of the 2021-22 school year.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! FALL SOCIAL EVENT - This year the traditional Homecoming Dance has been reimagined as a Fall Social. Jointly hosted by the PTSA and Bowie Student Council, this on-campus event is scheduled for the evening of Friday Saturday, October 23, 2021. The event will be limited to Bowie students; non-Bowie guests will not be admitted. Event times and more information about tickets, safety protocols, and all the fun activities are coming soon.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! STUDENT FLU VACCINE CLINIC - To keep our students in school and learning, we want to avoid a severe flu season exacerbating the impact of Covid-19 on our community. In partnership with Austin ISD, Health Hero America is making the flu vaccine available to Bowie students on Wednesday, October 20 at Bowie. There is no out of pocket cost or copay. If you would like your child to participate in this on-campus flu vaccine clinic, please fill out the Consent Form and return it to the main office by Wednesday, October 13.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! UIL ELIGIBILITY - You have likely heard that Austin ISD transitioned from a six, six weeks academic calendar to a nine weeks report card cycle for the 2021-22 school year. To calculate the semester average in a course, each of the two nine weeks report card grades will comprise 40% of the grade and the semester final exam will count 20% of the grade. The University Interscholastic League (UIL) establishes the rules for all UIL activities and standards of eligibility for students to earn the privilege of representing their schools in interschool contests.
