We're thrilled to introduce our newest paraprofessional, Kristen Findley! When she's not at school, you'll find Kristen baking up something delicious, spending quality time with her family, or enjoying the great outdoors through hunting, fishing, and camping. She also coaches her oldest son's soccer team and loves cheering on college sports, especially football and softball.
Kristen chose to become a paraprofessional because of her genuine passion for working with children and her love for Tower Elementary. She's most excited about joining our amazing team and contributing to the incredible culture that BISD has built. As a bonus, she's looking forward to having the same schedule as her kids!
Please join us in giving Kristen a warm Tower Elementary welcome. We know she's going to be a wonderful addition to our school family!

Enjoy your well-deserved 3-day weekend! School is closed on Monday, September 1st in observance of Labor Day.

We're excited to welcome Victoria as our newest bus driver! Victoria brings a unique background to our transportation team - before moving to the area, she drove semis for an amazing company. While it's not a semi, she knows she's going to love getting behind the wheel of a school bus!
When Victoria isn't driving, you'll find her staying busy with her family at softball tournaments, heading to the lake, or casting a line while fishing. She and her husband are always on the go with their kids' soccer and softball activities - they're constantly going, going, going!
Her active lifestyle and experience juggling busy schedules make her perfect for keeping up with our students' transportation needs.
Victoria is thrilled about becoming part of the BISD team and looks forward to safely transporting our precious cargo to and from school each day. Her professional driving experience and genuine enthusiasm for being part of our community will be such valuable assets.

We're thrilled to welcome Eric to Tower Elementary! Eric is a proud graduate of Midwestern State University (December 2010) with a degree in Sport and Fitness Management and a minor in Business Administration. He brings 14 years of teaching experience to our team, including 8 years as a coach.
When he's not in the classroom, Eric loves movies, rock climbing, hiking, camping, and anything that keeps him active and moving! His adventurous spirit and love for staying active will be such an asset to our students.
Eric has an interesting story about becoming an educator - he says it honestly never crossed his mind at first, but teaching kind of chose him! Sometimes the best paths find us when we least expect them.
What makes this move extra special is that Eric is truly joining the BISD family in every sense. His wife teaches 8th grade math in our district, and both of his children attend BISD schools!
He's excited about having the same schedule as his family, spending less time driving and more time focusing on personal growth. Most importantly, he's impressed by how BISD genuinely loves and supports both teachers and students - not just in words, but in actions that prove it's truly our motto.
Our Tower Elementary students are lucky to have someone so experienced and passionate joining their educational journey. Please join us in giving Eric a warm Bulldog welcome! 🐾
