Boswell's Family Buzz

Hello Families,

As we move into March, we want to take a moment to highlight how important consistent attendance is for student success, especially as we approach spring break. Every school day provides valuable learning opportunities, and staying engaged in class helps students build strong routines, stay on pace with instruction, and feel confident in their progress. While we are all looking forward to a well-deserved break, this is also a key time to remain focused and committed to learning so students can finish the month strong and return from spring break ready to continue growing. Thank you for your partnership in supporting regular attendance and a positive, productive learning environment for all students.

Get ready, Boswell families! Our Spring Book Fair is almost here, and we’re bringing a fun pet-themed twist to the library. This is a wonderful chance for students to explore books that spark imagination, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

We invite you to help your child find a story that’s a "purr-fect" match. Not only will they take home a new favorite book, but every purchase directly supports the Boswell Library!

🐶 A Special Guest is Joining the Pack!

We are using this pet-themed fair to gear up for a very special addition to our school family: Boswell is officially getting a therapy dog! While our new four-legged staff member won't arrive until March 23 (just after the fair concludes), the Book Fair is the perfect time to celebrate the upcoming arrival. This is a wonderful chance for students to explore books that spark imagination, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Come celebrate our new furry friend and the joy of reading all in one place. We can't wait to see you there!

You can click on the button below or scan the QR Code to access the Book Fair Webpage. eWallets can be created beginning Thursday, February 5.

Spring is such an exciting time at Boswell!

4th graders are continuing to explore future careers, while 5th graders had a great visit with LMS Counselors to learn about 6th-grade courses.

If you are the parent of a current 5th grader, please talk with your child about their schedule for next year, sign it, and return it to Boswell no later than March 5th!

Social media sites and apps are an important part of how we use the internet. Research has shown that most students are divided on whether social media has a positive or negative impact on their lives. Here are some tools and tips on how to protect your children and to help parents monitor and understand their children's online habits for improved safety.

Keep in mind the start time and end times for Boswell:

Monday-Thursday-- 7:48-3:01

Friday-- 7:48-2:00

**Any transportation changes need to be called in by 2:00 on Monday-Thursdays and by 1:00 on Fridays (Early Dismissial). These changes can be made by calling the Boswell front office at 417-657-6400.

Pick up and drop off take place in the back of the building. Students may be dropped off as early as 7:10, and picked up at 3:00. Enter the pickup and drop off line from Lenz Ave. Turning in from Millcreek creates backups, stops busses, and cuts off parents who have been waiting. Attached is a picture for reference. If arriving after 3:30, students will need to be picked up in the circle drive.

We do anticipate a bit more traffic on the first few days, but still should be a relativly quick process.
