Boggess Elementary

Hello Boggess Families,

We have had an awesome week! We enjoyed the Bengal Assembly this morning. I love to hear the cheers and celebrate Boggess achievements. Congratulations 5th graders for winning the Queen of Clean award.. Great job keeping your area cleaned and showing Bengal spirit!

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Jenna Lovell-Cahill on being selected for the Superintendent’s Service Award. Mrs. Lovell’s dedication to the success of students is unparalleled. Since joining our Boggess staff she has worked with multiple grade levels and teams. We love her compassion, optimistic attitude and the high expectations she sets for herself, students and colleagues. Mrs. Lovell makes a difference in the lives of students daily. We are so fortunate to have her at Boggess.

STUCO and I are SO excited to announce that we are partnering with HEB to collect plastic bags from March 13-April 14th!! The collection box will be arriving soon from HEB and it will be near the library. ANY plastic shopping bags are welcome. 🙂 I know we all probably have a lot, so let's do some good!

In order to help campus staff appropriately and schedule classes for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, families are asked to complete an Intent to Return form online. Please complete the form as soon as possible since planning for the upcoming school year is already underway. If your family does not plan to return, families are asked to notify us as well since that information also helps with planning.

Thank you for your assistance in helping schools with planning for the upcoming school year. If you have any questions regarding the Intent to Return Form, please contact Karina Trotter, Director of Welcome & Enrollment Center.
