TOMORROW is the BIG DAY! The first day of the 2024 - 2025 school year! Here are a few reminders to make the day run as smoothly as possible.
Parents are not able to walk students to class. Students will need to arrive via bus or car line.
Breakfast and lunch is free for all students.
Make sure your child’s teacher knows how they will get home. If they are riding a bus please make sure they know the bus number. If you are picking your child up in the car line make sure that you have a WHITE 2024 - 2025 car line tag.
If you are new to the car line please review the car line video linked in this message.

Bossier Schools has revised its cell phone policy in response to a new state law that restricts students from using cell phones and other electronic devices during the instructional day. Please note the following revisions:
Cell phones must be turned off and stowed during instructional time, including from the time students get on/off the bus or in/out of a personal vehicle while on campus;
Electronic communication devices, including but not limited to personal computers, laptops, electronic instruments, iPads, iPods, tablet devices, e-readers or similar devices, must be powered off and properly stowed for the duration of the school day.
Each violation will result in the collection of the cell phone/electronic device. More information regarding disciplinary action can be found in school handbooks.
*Please note the revised policy does not apply to students who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP)/Individualized Accommodation Plan (IAP), Section 504 plan or Individualized Health Plan that requires use of an electronic telecommunication device.
