    • Transitioning to Taylor Elementary
      Transitioning to a new school environment can be challenging. At Taylor, we will support you and your child by helping your students ease into their new routines. Jack Taylor Elementary is a public school in Burleson, Texas. Our campus serves around 550 students, and approximately 20 are military-connected. The closest military base is located in Fort Worth, and it is named Naval Air Station Joint Reserve (formerly Carswell Air Force Base), approximately 16 miles from the school.

    Taylor Elementary pairs your students with a student ambassador. These student ambassadors will spend time with your students during lunch the first week and will guide your students around campus. Our school colors are red, white and blue. Our mascot is a Texan. Unless there is a special dress-up day, we wear some of our favorite college or military shirts on Thursdays, and on Fridays, we wear our spirit shirts. For our military-connected students and families, we have special activities on campus. A weekly newsletter is provided by our principal to families via email to let you know of events and happenings on campus.

    • Counseling Resources

    • On the Campus

    • Professional school counselors are certified/licensed educators trained in school counseling with unique qualifications to address all students’ academic, personal/social, and career development needs.  School counselors implement school counseling programs that promote and enhance student achievement. They provide direct services to students to help them manage academic and social needs and to support the efforts of teachers and parents in promoting self-confidence, academic readiness, social and interpersonal sensitivity and skills, and awareness of academic and future career opportunities.
      Counselors are student advocates.  They can help to:
      •    resolve scheduling conflicts or problems
      •    review transcript information
      •    make the correct subject choices
      •    assist in creating stronger teacher-student relationships
      •    listen to your personal concerns or problems
      •    provide college information
      •    guide students to available college scholarships and financial aid
      •    provide career choice opportunities
      •    give information about community resources to address concerns
      Students and their parents are encouraged to talk with their school counselor about school-related issues, academic concerns, course offerings, school programs, testing requirements, graduation requirements, graduation plans, and the guidance curriculum. 

    • Mrs. Garcia is the school counselor. You can contact her at orimar.garcia@bisdmail.net or 817.245.3200.
