We are incredibly proud to celebrate two outstanding Blooming Grove Junior High students who recently represented our school at The Amazing Shake Global Competition at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia!
This competition challenges students to demonstrate professionalism, confidence, communication skills, and character in real-world scenarios.
Throughout the experience, they competed against 500+ students from 27 states and 3 countries. They navigated high-level challenges, and showcased the values that make Blooming Grove ISD so special. Their hard work, courage, and leadership did not go unnoticed, and they represented our community with excellence.
Please join us in congratulating these two remarkable students for stepping outside their comfort zones and representing BG on a global stage!
STAAR testing at the junior high will start this week. Please see the dates attached for all of the junior high testing dates. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bigler.
The district recently received notice that our request for a missed school day waiver was denied. When we submitted the waiver, we included the two weather days in January along with the closure that occurred at the beginning of the school year due to the catastrophic HVAC failure at the elementary campus.
However, the state did not recognize the early closure as a missed instructional day because school had not officially started. Since that day could not be counted, the district does not meet the waiver criteria based on minutes lost.
Because of this, Blooming Grove ISD will need to adjust the schedule in May to ensure we meet the state-required instructional minute requirements. The board approved moving May 4th and May 11th to instructional days.
