Dear Titan Families,
What a wonderful week we had at Baggett! I want to begin by thanking everyone who joined us for BES International Night on Friday. It was a fantastic evening celebrating the cultures, traditions, and diversity that make our Titan community so special. Seeing our students, families, and staff come together to learn from one another, connect, and simply enjoy being together was a great reminder of what makes Baggett such a special place.
As part of our Family Engagement Goal, we're inviting parents to join us for a Volunteer Luncheon to learn about the many ways to get involved at Baggett Elementary this year. Here are the specifics:
- Who - Parents who are interested in volunteering at BES
- Where - BES Family Center
- When - Thursday, October 1, 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Seating is limited to the first 25 parents who register, but all parents who wish to volunteer are welcome, regardless of luncheon attendance. Register by scanning the QR code on the flyer in this week's newsletter.
And speaking of celebrations, don’t forget about our BES Birthday Package! We love celebrating our Titans, and the Birthday Package is a fun way for families to help make their child’s special day at school even more memorable. If your Titan has a birthday coming up, be sure to check out the Birthday Package information in this week’s Titan Times for details on what’s included and how to order.
We have another exciting week ahead, filled with opportunities for our Titans to learn and grow both inside and outside the classroom. From the Book Fair and field trips, clubs, and special learning experiences, there is plenty happening at BES. Please take a few moments to review this week’s Titan Times so you don’t miss anything.
Proud to be a Titan!

Build Vocabulary Through Conversation
One of the easiest ways to support learning at home is simply to talk together! Strong vocabulary helps children become better readers, writers, thinkers, and communicators. Everyday conversations provide great opportunities to introduce new words and help children connect those words to experiences they already understand.
This week, try choosing one new word each day during dinner, in the car, or while getting ready for school. Talk about what the word means, use it in a sentence, and challenge your child to use it later. For younger Titans, connect the word to a picture or familiar object. For older students, ask them to think of synonyms, antonyms, or other situations where the word could be used.
Try asking: “What new or interesting word did you hear or learn today?”
A few minutes of meaningful conversation each day can make a BIG difference. Learning doesn’t stop when our Titans leave the classroom!
