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.
Spiritwear is ready to be picked up in the office from 9 am - 3 pm. The store will open again 8/8.
HMS is offering a new elective for 7th and 8th graders. We are offering a yearbook class and are very excited about it. Please have your 7th or 8th grader complete the google form by Friday if they would like to apply for a spot in the class.

Come by the Wal-Mart Supercenter Thursday, August 1 from 11:30 to 1:30 and drop off much needed supplies to help our teachers fill the gaps in their classrooms.
Parents/Guardians - Be on the lookout for an email on AUGUST 1 with instructions and details about Rooms, the exciting feature for parent-teacher chat.
Download the Bossier Schools app now so you'll be ready, and be sure to enable notifications!
Schedules for the 24-25 School Year will be available Wednesday, 7/30, after 3:00 pm.
Please remember to print a copy to bring to Camp Buccaneer.
If they become available sooner, we will make a post to notify you.
Camp Buccaneer is almost here!
When: Thursday, 8/1
Parents and students should start arriving at 9:30.
As we get closer to the start of school we know many of you have dress code questions. Here is a reminder of our changes:
- We now have red, navy, gray, and black added to colors.
- We added joggers, but they cannot be sweat pant material or spandex. Dri-fit is fine.
- Belts are optional as long and bottoms are worn properly.
- We did not add cargo pants.
- Shorts must be appropriate in length and students will lose the privilege to wear them. Clothes cannot be body forming.
- Shirts do not have to be tucked in but if they show any mid drift they are too short.
We hope this helps give guidance as we gear up for school.
