Meet Mrs. Vest
I come to BES to begin my 20th year in Public Education. I have served as an Assistant Principal, Instructional Specialist, Teacher, Aide, and Substitute in my career. I am a wife to my junior high school sweetheart and a mother to two beautiful girls. I am honored and humbled to be able to serve in the best town, best school district, and best school in the state of Texas. I look forward to meeting each of you and partnering with you to support your precious children.

DISMISSAL
Counselor's Corner
Through classroom lessons, stories, and individual student sessions, I strive to help the students of Brenham Elementary gain understanding of their feelings, monitor their reactions, and handle problems. I also help students understand what essential values make us all better people. Even as adults, we can strive to be better every single day. As a counselor, I do my best to lead by example, creating a positive and warm environment for your children.
Another part of my job is handling special programs on our campus; Gifted and Talented, Section 504, ESL, and state testing (STAAR and TELPAS). If you have any questions about any of those programs, I’d be happy to help you!
Mrs. Kocian
How can you Support BES?
VOLUNTEER
We have SO many opportunities for you to volunteer at BES! We encourage you to get involved in any way you can. If you cannot come in to the school during the day, please ask your child's teacher how you can help. Our PTO is a wonderful way to get involved as well. They provide many materials and activities for students and teachers. A strong home/school partnership means success for our children.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Collecting Box Tops is an easy way to earn money for BES. The Box Top form is available in the library. If you need one sent home, please contact your child's teacher. Attach your Box Tops to the form and send them in
