Birdville, Haltom and Richland high seniors, we invite you to create and share with your BISD family a 30-second video to your fellow BISD seniors in response to the following questions (one video per question):
· What you will miss most?
· What are your hopes and dreams for the future?
· What are your plans for the future?
· If you could thank a teacher or other school staff member, what would you say to them?
Get fresh fruit, vegetables and more provided by the Tarrant Area Food Bank Mobile Pantry on Tuesday, April 28 from 3–5 p.m. at Thomas Coliseum, 6108 Broadway Ave., Haltom City. Enter from Belknap Street or Broadway Avenue. No need to line up early as they will have plenty. The line will move quickly starting at 3 p.m. Coordinated by the Community Enrichment Center.
BISD realizes that there may be students who have library books or textbooks at home. We ask that you hold those books until your designated time for pickup of your personal items on campus. The District will provide library book return bins at the pickup sites for you.
Now that the governor has closed schools for the rest of the school year, BISD is developing plans that allow teachers to safely enter their classrooms to gather their personal items, as well as items left in the classrooms, fine arts and athletics areas by students. Student items will be placed in bags with the student’s name on the bag. Once this is done, the individual campuses will communicate the plan for curbside pickup to parents and students. (Parents/students will NOT be allowed in the building.)
We ask for your patience as campuses complete this task while taking extra precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of their teachers and staff. If you have specific questions concerning your campus, please email your child’s principal or teacher.
Report Card grades will be available for parents to review in the Skyward Family Access portal under the “Student Performance” tab.

Attention Birdville, Haltom and Richland Seniors:
We understand that there continues to be a lot of questions about in-person graduations. Currently, BISD has June 20 and July 26 reserved at Dickies Arena as alternate dates for graduation. However, the District must wait for the mandated guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and other state and local agencies before we can make final decisions.
Once we receive more details, the District will determine if in-person graduation ceremonies are a possibility. (BISD does prefer to have in-person graduations.) If it is determined that in-person graduations are not an option, the District will consider virtual graduation ceremonies.
Until we have the TEA’s guidance, a better understanding of restrictions for large gatherings, and dates when facilities can begin normal operations, we ask for your patience. (Remember, all facilities in Tarrant County are currently closed until further notice.)
We hope to provide information about prom at the same time as graduation details. Herff Jones is continuing with their plans to distribute caps, gowns and other graduation items at the high schools this week.
