Goodbye Message from Mrs. Coffman
This year will be more difficult than ever for me. It is with mixed feelings that I want to let you all know that I will not be returning to Boyd next year. I have an incredible opportunity to work as a consultant at Region 10 training administrators and supporting districts throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It has always been my dream to provide this level of support to administrators at the local and state level, and I feel so blessed to be able to pursue this dream. I am so happy for this opportunity but heartbroken to say goodbye to the teachers, students, and families that are so close to my heart. Thank you for your support and for the blessing that your children have been in my life. I will greatly miss your little Blackhawks!
The district has begun the process of looking for a new principal, and communication will be provided once the principal has been selected. Boyd is a very special place, and I know that they will find the perfect fit.
At Boyd we always say, "Once a Blackhawk, always a Blackhawk!" We are a family and are forever bonded by the time we spent together. Therefore, I will not say goodbye but rather "see you soon."

- Once you arrive at Boyd, a staff member will come to your car to retrieve all student items.
Here is your checklist:
Drop off Times: Friday, May 21st 9:00-11:00 AM or 1:00-3:00 PM
Place all library books, leveled readers, and any other instructional items in a plastic bag labeled with your child’s name and grade.

Place all items (bag of books, Chromebook, charger, hotspot, etc.) in the trunk of your car
Any items your child should receive (yearbook, certificates, etc.) will be brought out to you at this time.
