Dear Titan Families,

Parent Conference Week is an important opportunity for us to connect, celebrate your child’s progress, and plan our next steps together. Your perspective helps us better understand your child’s strengths, interests, and needs. We look forward to hearing what you are noticing at home and sharing what we are seeing in the classroom.

As you prepare for your conference, consider a few questions:

• What is my child doing well?
• Where might additional support help?
• What can we practice at home?

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being an essential part of our Baggett community. Every conversation strengthens the partnership that helps our Titans thrive. Together, we will continue to Focus Forward!

Proud to be a Titan!

Kevin Payne

Everyday routines offer simple opportunities to build your child’s math skills! While preparing a meal, ask your child to count ingredients, compare amounts, or measure a cup of rice. At the grocery store, younger children can count items or find shapes, while older children can estimate the total cost or calculate change.

Try asking, “How did you figure that out?” or “Can you solve it another way?” Give your child time to explain and celebrate their effort. A few minutes of everyday math can build confidence and help children see how learning connects to the world around them!

Small moments at home can lead to big learning!

On Thursday, October 1, our Baggett Volunteer Luncheon brought eager participants together in the Family Center for great food and detailed information. The program included words of welcome and encouragement from our principal, Kevin Payne; assistant principal, Katina Terry; Parent Instructional Coordinator, Suzette Daniel; and Parent Outreach Liaison, Ivette Casusol.

Mrs. Casusol also used our new interpretation device to provide real-time interpretation, so our non-English-speaking guests could fully take part in the conversation.

We are overjoyed by the turnout and excited for our volunteer program to begin after Fall Break. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to see you in our school! If you are also wanting to volunteer, please look out for more information in our school flyers and upcoming newsletters.
