Due to power outages on several campuses, Carthage ISD will operate on a two-hour delayed start on Monday, August 28. All district and campus operations will run two hours later than normal. Any additional updates will be communicated as soon as possible.
The first two days of school have been absolutely AMAZING having our students back on campus and we can't wait to finish the week strong tomorrow! 🤩 Here's a quick-reference guide that shows the start/dismissal time for each campus, as well as the early release times for the scheduled early release days throughout the year. ♥️🐾
In preparation for the upcoming school year, our school buses will be hitting the roads on Monday and Tuesday to run their routes. 🚌
This practice run ensures that our students' transportation is seamless and safe on the first day of school. 📚🎒 So, don't be surprised to see our yellow buses around the neighborhood early this week!
🚨 Carthage ISD parents 🚨 If you haven’t signed your student up to ride the bus at one of the campus registration days, feel free to call the Transportation Department at 903-693-7774 and we’ll make sure your Bulldog is signed up to ride!
Happy Independence Day, Bulldogs! 🇺🇸 Enjoy the festivities today, stay safe, and let freedom ring! 🎇
Juneteenth is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay

🐾 The most convenient entrance off W. Panola is the Championship Spur entrance. 🚗
🐾 Close parking is limited this spring, so if you are able to park in the visitor parking area behind Bulldog Stadium, please do so and leave the small parking lot available for our Bulldog fans who may not be able to walk long distances. 🅿️
🐾 Bleacher seating is limited this spring, so bring your comfortable ballpark chair whenever possible. 💺
🐾 Restroom facilities are currently clean porta potties, so keep that in mind in planning your visit. 🚻
🐾 Come prepared to cheer LOUD and PROUD for those Bulldogs and Lady Dogs! 📣⚾🥎
