Our goal here at Boyd is to empower our students to be their own educational advocates. As teachers, we provide support for our students while encouraging them to take charge of their own education. We realize that high school can be a confusing and intimidating time. It is not our intention to make the transition from middle school to high school any more difficult than it already is. That being said, we set very high standards for ALL of our students. We expect them to be aware of the classroom expectations and to take their education seriously. We want to work closely with families of our students to help them to have an amazing first year of high school, and we genuinely appreciate families' efforts to support their students as well as our classroom policies. We would like to encourage parents to utilize all of the awesome new ways that they can be involved with their child's success. Be sure to check your student's HAC account regularly to avoid surprises. All of the assignments for English I and Pre-AP, as well as other course related resources can be found under the labeled tabs above. We hope that the website, as well as other tools like Remind 101 and various social media avenues, will provide all of our Boyd students and their families with every tool necessary to have a successful year in English.
