Greetings, Bulldog Nation! UPCOMING TESTING - There are a number of important tests scheduled between now and the end of the school year. Next week, Bowie will administer STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. Freshmen will take the Biology EOC on Wednesday, juniors will take the U.S. History EOC on Thursday, and freshmen enrolled in Algebra 1 will take that EOC exam on Friday. Also, in an effort to earn college credit, many students will also be taking their College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exams between May 18 and 28.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK - Over the last 12+ months as the world turned upside down in the wake of the pandemic, the commitment and talents of the Bowie teachers shone brightly as they worked to make sure that our students could find some solid footing. While always a challenging job, teaching over the last year has required some extra “oomph,” so please join me in thanking and celebrating the Bowie teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3-7, 2021.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! STAAR EOC EXAMS - This week we welcomed 646 freshman and 624 sophomores to campus to take their English STAAR End-of-Course Exams. Thank you for entrusting us to prepare your children for these important assessments and to bring a significant number of students to campus in a manner that demonstrates our care and concern for their health and safety.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! Invitation to Return to Bowie for On-Campus Learning - While we all must remain vigilant in our battle against the spread of Covid-19, there are signs of hope and progress as vaccines become more widely available, and UT’s Covid modeling suggests that Austin could move from Stage 3 to 2 by Monday, April 19. At Bowie, things are looking good as well, remote teachers are returning to campus, and there has been no community spread of Covid as a result of on-campus instruction.

Greetings, Bulldog Nation! SENIOR UPDATES - JBHS.org now has a Senior Updates section under the Students tab. In the weeks to come, we will continue to post the latest information about graduation, prom, caps & gowns, Project Graduation, and other Class of 2021 activities on these dedicated pages.
