Military Family Support
Welcome, Military-Connected Families!
Boerne ISD proudly welcomes military-connected students and families who have relocated due to military service. Military-connected families include those with a parent or guardian currently serving or who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces, Texas National Guard, or military reserves, as well as families whose parent or guardian was lost in the line of duty.
At Boerne Middle School South, we are proud to serve and support our military-connected families. We are committed to fostering a welcoming, caring, and inclusive environment where every student feels safe, supported, connected, and empowered to succeed.
We understand that military life can bring unique experiences and transitions for students and families. Our goal is to help make each transition as smooth as possible while providing resources and support for students' academic, social, and emotional well-being.
This webpage provides helpful information, resources, and support to help your family navigate your experience at Boerne Middle School South. Please know that we are here to answer questions, connect you with resources, and assist your family whenever needed.
Once a Charger, always a Charger! We are honored to serve your family and are grateful for your service and sacrifice.
