Back to School Night is Sept. 10 th at 6pm.
With approx. 3000 students, there is a need to adhere to policies and procedures. Check Bowie website and/or student handbook when needing to know policy.
Teachers, counselors, and other school staff have very different roles and responsibilities, so when meeting with a school faculty member, take a moment to learn about what that person does (and does not do) specifically.
Be Proactive
Start at the beginning of the school year. -Many times, parents see advocating as something you only do when there’s a problem! -When confronted with issue in classroom or at home, email teachers/counselors to discuss and collaborate.
-Remember, there are always 2 sides to story-so many times, issues are simply miscommunication or misunderstandings.
Give time before following up.
-
During the school day, most school staff, including teachers have limited access to voice and e-mail.
-Remember your school faculty and staff have multiple students.
Remember that all Bowie staff are invested in your son or daughter’s education.

FOR STUDENTS
Counselors have an “open door” policy for students and are available before/after school and both lunches. If counselor is not available, students can leave a note in counselor’s mailbox at Ms. Trevino’s desk.
FOR PARENTS
Counselors set their own parent appointments to assure there is ample time to address concerns. Contact information can be found on the main page of Counselors’ Corner and the last page of this presentation.
AS ALWAYS: In case of emergency, let Ms. Trevino or any counselor know you are in need of immediate assistance and the nature of the emergency.
