Additionally, Boggess Elementary PTA has also been awarded the 2018 National PTA Phoebe Apperson Hearst Family School Partnership Award of Merit for innovation in family engagement and for demonstrating outstanding success in engaging families in student success and school improvements. The award is the highest family engagement honor National PTA presents. Boggess Elementary is one of only three school in the nation to receive this award during 2018 and received a $500 grant for the school as part of the honor.
Boggess Elementary worked with their ESL staff to identify the languages used in the homes of their students and crafted communications through multiple channels while highlighting the translation services available from the school and district. Boggess PTA hopes to continue to explore ways to help non-English speaking parents and families feel comfortable and welcomed at school.
