A Message from Our Principal

Second Marking Period | 2026–2027

Dear Boggy Creek Elementary Families, Students, Staff, and Community Partners,

As we begin our second marking period, I am filled with gratitude and pride for our incredible Manatee family. Every day, I am reminded that what makes Boggy Creek Elementary special is not just what we accomplish, but the people, relationships, and shared commitment that make our school feel like family.

Our journey from a “C” to a “B” school is a reflection of our students' determination, our teachers' dedication, and our families' unwavering support. It reminds us of what we can accomplish when we believe in one another. And our journey continues as we work toward Making Waves to an A!

As a proud Dual Language and AVID school, we remain committed to academic excellence, student growth, leadership, and creating a learning environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.

To our families, thank you for trusting us with your most precious gifts—your children. To our teachers and staff, thank you for the love, passion, and dedication you bring to our school each day. And to our students, always remember that you matter, your dreams matter, and your progress matters. I believe in each of you!

As your principal, I believe our greatest success is not measured by a school grade alone, but by the lives we touch, the confidence we build, and the futures we help shape.

Every Student Counts.
Every Gain Matters.
Every Day Counts.
Every Point Counts.
Every Manatee Makes Waves.

Together, we will continue growing, believing, and achieving!

ONE SCHOOL. ONE FAMILY. ONE MISSION. MAKING WAVES TO AN A!

With heartfelt gratitude and Manatee Pride,

Yara Tavarez-DeLaFuentes
Principal

Mensaje de la Directora

Segundo Período de Calificaciones | Año Escolar 2026–2027

Estimadas familias, estudiantes, personal y colaboradores de la comunidad de Boggy Creek Elementary:

Al comenzar nuestro segundo período de calificaciones, me siento profundamente agradecida y orgullosa de nuestra increíble familia de manatíes. Cada día recuerdo que lo que hace especial a Boggy Creek Elementary no son solamente nuestros logros, sino las personas, las relaciones que construimos y el compromiso que compartimos, que hacen de nuestra escuela una verdadera familia.

Nuestro progreso de una calificación escolar de “C” a “B” refleja la determinación de nuestros estudiantes, la dedicación de nuestros maestros y el apoyo incondicional de nuestras familias. Es una muestra de lo que podemos lograr cuando creemos unos en otros. ¡Y nuestro camino continúa mientras trabajamos juntos para alcanzar la “A”!

Como escuela orgullosa de nuestros programas de Educación en Dos Idiomas (Dual Language) y AVID, mantenemos nuestro compromiso con la excelencia académica, el crecimiento estudiantil, el liderazgo y un ambiente de aprendizaje donde cada niño se sienta valorado, apoyado e inspirado a alcanzar su máximo potencial.

A nuestras familias, gracias por confiarnos sus tesoros más preciados: sus hijos. A nuestros maestros y personal, gracias por el amor, la pasión y la dedicación que brindan cada día. Y a nuestros estudiantes, nunca olviden que ustedes son importantes, sus sueños importan y cada uno de sus avances cuenta. ¡Creo en cada uno de ustedes!

Como directora, estoy convencida de que nuestro mayor éxito no se mide únicamente por una calificación escolar, sino por las vidas que tocamos, la confianza que fortalecemos y los futuros que ayudamos a construir.

Cada estudiante cuenta.
Cada progreso importa.
Cada día cuenta.
Cada punto cuenta.
¡Cada manatí deja su huella!

¡Juntos continuaremos creciendo, creyendo y alcanzando nuestras metas!

¡UNA ESCUELA. UNA FAMILIA. UNA MISIÓN. HACIENDO OLAS HACIA LA A!

Con profunda gratitud y orgullo de ser parte de nuestra familia de manatíes,

Testimonials

Staff Member

It's been an honor for me as a parent to have my two children here. My son is only in second grade, but I believe that the dual language program is very powerful to be here in this community, and not only because they can continue with the same language that they learn at home, but I don't want them to lose that language. Aside from Dual Language, the AVID program has assisted both of my children in organizing their thoughts and their writing and help them strive academically.

Student

I am a very gifted student, so they put me in the Dual Language class. When I first got here in pre-K, my first language was Spanish, so I did not know much English. Thanks to the Dual Language program, I would say my English is very good.

Parent

When we moved down here from Massachusetts, we weren't sure what the community was really going to look like. And my son has absolutely thrived coming to Boggy Creek and since transitioning to middle school. He's a straight-A student, and he's not afraid to advocate for himself, and that's one big thing here at Boggy Creek is that the students’ voices really matter.

Parents

My connection with Boggy Creek started a long time ago. I was a student here when we first moved to Kissimmee, so I started here in first grade and stayed through fifth grade. Now I get to see my boys go to school here and experience things and see how the school has grown in, you know, 25-plus years. It’s been really great to see all the opportunities that they get from coming to a school that’s as connected to the community as Boggy Creek is.

Student

Boggy Creek is like a family to me because they are there for me and they help me when I'm sad or anxious.

Student

That’s why I participate in drama club, so I can help myself learn those tactics and have better grades. I’m going to be going to Osceola County School for the Arts next year. It is a big jump from having two teachers to having seven, but Boggy Creek has prepared me for much in my future.

Teacher

To be a manatee means being able to collaborate and work as a team, both from the parents’ perspective and the teachers’ perspective. We hold each other accountable because we both want them to succeed and to further their education. That's why we instill the AVID mindset in our classrooms.
