👨👩👧👦Parents, please: ◾Update your emergency contact information with the front office ◾Remind your child about this new law ◾Help us create a focused learning environment Disconnect to Reconnect - When students power down their devices, they power up their connections with teachers, classmates, and their love of learning! 📚✨ Questions?

¿Qué exige la Ley 1481 para TODOS los estudiantes de Texas? ✅ Todos los aparatos personales de comunicación deben estar APAGADOS y guardados fuera de la vista ✅ Esto incluye: celulares, relojes inteligentes, tabletas, consolas de videojuegos y más ✅ La regla aplica desde la primera campana hasta la última, mientras estén en la escuela ✅ Es una orden estatal – TODOS los distritos escolares de Texas deben seguirla 📞 ¿Necesita comunicarse con su hijo durante el horario escolar?

👨👩👧👦 Padres, por favor: ◾Actualicen su información de contacto de emergencia en la oficina ◾Recuérdenle a su hijo sobre esta nueva ley ◾Ayúdennos a mantener un ambiente enfocado en el aprendizaje
Desconecta para Reconectar – Cuando los estudiantes apagan sus aparatos, se conectan más con los maestros, compañeros y con gusto de aprender. 📚✨ ¿Preguntas? Visite www.bisd.us o llame al (956) 548-8000 #BISD #DesconectarseParaReconectarse #ZonaLibreDeAparatos

🚧 Exciting changes are coming to Sams Memorial Stadium! 🚧
The stadium will soon be transformed into a multi-use football and soccer complex. It will host a full fall schedule of varsity football games, boys and girls soccer matches from December through April, and eventually UTRGV Division I football games.
Please note that Jefferson Street will experience increased activity with trucks delivering turf, asphalt, and other materials. We recommend using alternate routes when possible. Crews could be working into the evening hours, with stadium lights on to ensure safety and efficient progress.
Thank you for your patience as we make these exciting improvements! 🔧⚽🏈
