Waco Reporter

Blooming Grove ISD issued the following announcement.

During our school closure, student learning continues to be a priority in Blooming Grove ISD. This site contains information for each campus and course. On these pages there will be content that supports the curriculum for the period of time we are closed. Per Governor Abbott, Blooming Grove ISD is closed for the rest of the school year. At Home Learning will occur until May 29, 2020.

Implementing At-Home Learning

We encourage you to access the information provided and to have your child spend time on the content each day. (Recommended: 1-2 hours a day for elementary and 2-3 hours a day for Jr. High, 3-4 hours a day for High School). We understand that this may look different for each family, and our faculty and staff are here to support you during this time. Please keep any completed work to turn in when we come back to school. Work will not be graded, but will be assessed on a Pass/Fail basis. Parents may pick and choose what information to complete that will be made available. While this will not fully replace the face-to-face instruction we have to miss, it will help reduce gaps in learning. The website lists both online and non-digital student and parent resources for learning at home.
