WEATHER UPDATE | Conroe ISD Closed Wednesday, September 2

Following a meeting with the National Weather Service and Montgomery County Emergency Management, the latest forecast indicates Tropical Storm Edouard is strengthening and is expected to move farther into our area this evening and directly impact our school district.

As a result, Conroe ISD will be closed on Wednesday, September 2. All schools and district offices will be closed, and all after-school activities are canceled.

We understand that weather conditions and individual circumstances can vary widely across our community. Conroe ISD spans 348 square miles, and while some areas may see relatively minor impacts, others may experience heavy rainfall, flooding, power outages, or hazardous road conditions. We must also consider that many of our bus drivers, teachers, and employees commute from areas that may be more heavily affected.

We know closing schools can create challenges for our families and employees, and we do not make this decision lightly. We appreciate your understanding as we make the best decision we can for the safety of our entire Conroe ISD community.

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide an update on school operations Thursday, September 3, as soon as more information is available. Please stay safe!

At Buckalew, we know that game changers lift others up, lead with kindness, and make a difference in ways both big and small. We are so grateful for the impact these amazing Bears make each day!

📚BOOK TASTING DAY! 📚

Our 4th graders had the BEST time at our Annual Book Tasting!

Instead of food, our little readers spent their class time “sampling” books across 5 different genres! Each course gave students the opportunity to explore new authors, discover new genres, and—hopefully—find a few NEW books to love and read!

There’s nothing better than watching kids get excited about finding a book that makes them say, “I HAVE to read this!”

Here’s to a year filled with new stories, new adventures, and LOTS of reading!
