Boggess PTA Summer Update Hello Boggess Bengal Families, We hope this message finds you all happy and healthy during your summer break. Below you will find a few reminders of things to do before school starts. First, though, just in case you haven't heard, Boggess is welcoming a new Principal to the school this year. Mrs. Shurandia Holden is joining the the Boggess Family, and we look forward to meeting her in person soon! Mrs. Holden has provided a brief letter of introduction for all of the families of Boggess. If you haven't read it, you can find it here: Mrs. Holden's Letter On to the reminders! PISD Volunteer Application Every year, the PISD Volunteer Application resets at the beginning of July, requiring all PISD Volunteers to resubmit their application. And, every year we have parents that show up to volunteer that forgot to complete (or resubmit) their PISD Volunteer Application. Submitting an application for the first time should only take about 15-20 minutes; if resubmitting, if none of your information has changed it should take a 5 minute (or less) review. Don't delay! Do it right now!! This application takes 2 to 3 business days for processing to complete. For questions about your application status, please log back into you application to check the status or contact the campus where you plan to volunteer. Please be advised you will not receive an email with the status of your application. Update your Boggess PTA Information Visit www.boggesspta.org and create/update your account. Why? We like to be able to notify our Boggess families about all of the things that are happening at school so having current/correct contact information is crucial. But, one other very important thing that we really need you to do is verify your student(s) grade level and shirt size. As the budget currently stands, the Boggess PTA will once again be providing FREE Grade Level Shirts to the students and staff this year, and we can get them printed and delivered faster if everyone gives us accurate size information. (Grade colors still TBD.) When you log in, you should be prompted to update your information, and you should be able to follow the steps to verify or update that information. If you are not prompted, you can click the "My Account" link and then click the "Family Information" link to get started. It's only Please note: The student Grade Levels were automatically rolled forward, but you should double check to make sure that your student(s) grade levels are correctly set. We've also added a shirt size selection for the Grade Level Shirts in the same area - the second page of "Family Information".
