Bowling Green Independent Schools Food Services Department is working to implement new meal purchasing and checkout procedures in all schools. A new student ID system, IDconnect® will soon be used at all point of sale stations, allowing students to move through cafeteria and food lines more efficiently, saving time and increasing the accuracy of student accounts.

September is School Attendance Awareness Month, and in BGISD, it is an opportunity to remind parents and students of the district's attendance policy. A student is allowed 5 days excused with parent notes and 7 days with doctor notes per school year.  After 7 doctor notes have been used, the district medical excuse form must be submitted for excused absences and/or tardies.  Parent and doctor notes must be turned in to the school within 72 hours of the student’s absence. This attendance policy is new for the 2018-19 school year and implemented in an effort to reduce chronic absenteeism, defined as missing more than 10% of the school year for any reason.
