Bells Elementary Home

There is always something exciting buzzing in the halls of Bells Elementary! From hands-on STEM projects and creative arts to our school-wide assemblies, this page is your window into the daily life of our Panthers. We take pride in seeing our students GROWL in action—whether they are growing toward a new reading goal, offering kindness on the playground, or learning something new in the garden. Check back often for snapshots of our classroom highlights, upcoming community events, and the many ways our students are working hard to make BES the best place to be!

OCTOBER

At Bells Elementary, we know that a child’s emotional well-being is the foundation for their academic success. Our School Counseling program is here to help every student GROWL by providing a safe space to navigate challenges, build healthy relationships, and develop a strong sense of self-respect. Whether it’s through classroom guidance lessons on offering kindness, small group sessions focused on goal-setting, or individual support for those navigating big feelings, our mission is to ensure every Panther feels empowered and cared for. We are dedicated partners with our families and staff, working together to foster a compassionate environment where every student can truly Learn and thrive every day.

Looking for addtional support, you can contact the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT).
