⭐ Preschool Opportunity:
If your child turns 4 years old by September 30, 2026 and qualifies for special education services, he or she may be eligible for placement in an Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) classroom for their preschool year—helping better prepare them for kindergarten!
Our ECSE classrooms:
✔️ Follow the same curriculum as our Title I preschool programs
✔️ Offer lower student-to-teacher/staff ratios
✔️ Provide individualized instruction tailored to each child’s needs
Every child deserves the best start—let’s work together! 💙

We’re excited to welcome composer Adrian B. Sims to Benton! This special workshop is open to the public, and we invite our community to come watch our students learn directly from the composer himself.
Each band level is currently working on a piece written by Mr. Sims and will receive a live clinic from him. Think of it as the musical equivalent of students getting to study a book with the author sitting right there in the room. An incredible learning experience for our musicians!

UPDATE: Thursday, January 29, 2026
Bossier Schools will remain CLOSED for students and teachers Friday, January 30 out of an abundance of caution due to continued safety concerns on our campuses as a result of the wintry weather.
We cannot risk your children’s return to school until the thick ice accumulation melts or can be removed from awnings, walkways, bus ramps and parking lots.
Our district leaders and 12-month employees will be working Friday to get our schools and centers ready for reopening Monday, February 2, and to de-ice and prepare for another round of frigid temperatures being forecast for the weekend. This is a work day at our schools and centers, and they will not be open for normal operations.
We know this week has been unusual and Bossier Schools greatly appreciates your understanding, support and working with us to make the best of the situation.
