BOLES ISD

Family Engagement Specialist/FES

Boles ISD ACE understands the importance of involving family members and the extended community in our students’ education.  Without the support of each student’s family and also the community at large, Boles ISD ACE wouldn’t be what it is – namely a safe, educational, enrichment, and athletic environment for exceptional social emotional growth, academic excellence, and college/career readiness activities.  

Strong partnerships with families and the community are essential for student growth and active student engagement.  These partnerships create an environment that is conducive to the social, emotional, and academic growth of our children.  We are committed to increasing the engagement of families and our community in the education process through the following strategic, coordinated activities:

Boles ISD ACE utilizes a variety of methods to facilitate effective communication among members of our educational community including:

• Parental information meetings

• Newsletters at the campus level

• Written communication as needed

• Phone/email communication with parents

• Google Classroom notifications/Google Classroom ACE Activities 

• Constant communication with each coordinator, FES, and program director
