We are excited to announce the reorganization of our administrative team and hiring of a Jr. High Principal and Executive Director of Extracurricular Activities and District Operations. These changes reflect our commitment to providing the best support for our students, staff, and programs across all areas of BGISD. We are confident that the changes to our team will help us continue to excel and achieve success.

The fire department was called to the auditorium. There was smoke in the building. It was quickly determined that there was no fire. It was found that an AC unit motor had shorted out. Blooming Grove Fire department cleared the building and all students and staff are accounted for and safe.

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.

All bus routes will resume to normal routes this afternoon, February 13, 2025.

Due to the rain, all buses will be operating on pavement-only routes this afternoon (2/12/25) and tomorrow (2/13/25) morning. We will reassess tomorrow morning and make a decision on routes tomorrow afternoon.

Earlier today, the Blooming Grove ISD Board of Trustees voted to place a bond election on the May 2025 ballot. This decision comes after six months of dedicated work by a diverse facility committee, and I cannot say enough about the incredible group of parents, students, staff, business owners, and community members who have poured their time, effort, and commitment into this process. Together, this group carefully assessed the district’s needs and made thoughtful recommendations for areas of improvement.

Busses will run normal routes tomorrow 2/4/2025.
