We want you to have a safe and healthy summer. Below is some important info from the CDC on heat health and summer safety tips from the American Red Cross. Whether you’re swimming 🏊, grilling 🍔, or shooting fireworks for the 4th of July 🎆, remember these tips to stay safe and healthy!

1. Heat Injury: 🔥 Stay cool, stay hydrated 💧, and know the symptoms of a heat-related illness. These include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, weakness, and nausea. A core body temperature of 104°F is a medical emergency 🚑.

2. Water Safety: 🌊 About 11 people in the U.S. drown every day, and one in five are children under 14. Drowning is silent and takes just seconds. A child or weak swimmer can drown in the time it takes to check a text message. Consider taking swimming lessons or only swimming with a lifeguard present.

3. Grilling: 🍗 Grills cause about 10,000 home fires in the U.S. every year. Never grill indoors and keep the grill a safe distance from structures and debris that could catch fire.

These are just some summer safety highlights! Visit the links below for more tips on firework safety 🎇, pet safety 🐾, camping 🏕️, and more. Stay safe and enjoy your summer! 🌴

Dear Parents and Community Members,

We’re excited to grow our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and are looking for community and industry partners to support our students’ career readiness. We’d love to connect with individuals or organizations who can:

• Visit our campus to share insights about their careers.
• Offer job shadowing opportunities for students.
• Provide on-site tours of their companies.
• Join our CTE Advisory Committee to help shape program development.

If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with us, please email Bloomington Secondary CTE Coordinator, Reginald Adcock - reginald.adcock@bisd-tx.org

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students prepare for bright futures!

A representative from Victoria College will be on campus on January 30th to assist in completing the FAFSA.

Prepare To Fill Out the 2025–26 FAFSA® Form

Here are some ways you can get ready to fill out your FAFSA form:

• Create a StudentAid.gov account (if you don’t already have one).

• Learn about the documents you may need to fill out the FAFSA form.

• Determine your dependency status and whether your parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA form.

• If you’re a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be a required contributor on your form.

• You will need your parent(s)/guardians Date of Birth, Social, and Email address.

FAFSA Support and Data Protection

• FAFSA Privacy and Data Protection:

• FAFSA information is strictly confidential and used solely for determining financial aid eligibility.

• The U.S. Department of Education protects FAFSA data under federal privacy laws such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), ensuring information is not shared with immigration or law enforcement agencies.

• Schools and districts are trained to explain these protections to families, reassuring parents that reporting their information is safe and secure.

Download the PBIS Family App and connect with your student's account to stay informed of your child's behavior. Call the front office for information on how to connect with your student's PBIS account!
