Stay in-the-know about everything happening at Baggett Elementary School!
Message from the Principal
Dear Titan Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying the Labor Day weekend and finding some time to rest, recharge, and enjoy family and friends. As we return for a short but busy week, I want to thank you for the continued support you provide our students and staff each day.
We are building great momentum at Baggett! Our Titans are settling into routines, engaging in meaningful learning, and continuing to grow academically and socially. As we Focus Forward, our commitment remains clear: providing every student with a welcoming, supportive learning environment where they can belong, achieve, and thrive.
This week also brings several opportunities to connect as a school community. I look forward to spending time with families at Pastries with the Principal on Tuesday and seeing many of you at PTA Bingo Night on Friday. These moments of connection are an important part of what makes our Titan community stronger.
Thank you for your partnership, your encouragement, and the trust you place in us each day.
Proud to be a Titan!
Kevin Payne
Learning is Fun!!!
Learning from Home
Build Reading Into Everyday Life
Learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends! Families can strengthen classroom learning through simple conversations and everyday activities at home. You don’t need special materials or hours of extra practice—just a few intentional moments together.
This week, try asking your child to teach you something they learned at school. Encourage them to explain it in their own words, show an example, or tell you why it is important. Having children explain their thinking strengthens understanding, builds vocabulary, and gives you a window into what they are learning.
And, of course, make time to read every day. Read together, listen to your child read, or talk about something you have each read.
Remember: You are an important part of your child’s learning team. School + Home = Stronger Titans!
