Welcome to Boyd Elementary School, home of the Beavers! We are excited to have you visit our website and share information with you about our school and all the wonderful things happening here. 

Boyd Elementary School is located in the heart of the Keystone neighborhood and serves nearly 500 students. We currently have four classrooms at each grade level Kindergarten through Second and three classrooms at each grade level Third through Fifth. In addition, we have one all-day Head Start classroom, as well as two Alternative Curriculum Program classrooms.

Boyd is a welcoming and safe place that provides a student-focused, challenging academic environment for your children. We strive to assist each student in reaching his or her highest potential. I take great pride in our school and am proud of the many positive experiences we are able to offer our students.

Communication between home and school is very important! We will do our best to keep you informed through our weekly Boyd Beacon newsletter, classroom newsletters, school sign, website, and school messenger system. We value the support and input of our parents and community and encourage a cooperative partnership with the school. We will create a community of learners with the combined efforts of students, staff, parents and the community.

The staff at Boyd Elementary is dedicated, creative, and enthusiastic. They hold high expectations for students and tirelessly strive to improve student achievement.

We have an amazing PTO that aims to create memorable and meaningful experiences for our students and families. The PTO supports our academic efforts by providing resources for the school and building community by planning family events.

Boyd School, named after James Edward Boyd, is located at 84th and Boyd Streets, sits high on a hill overlooking the surrounding suburban community of homes. James Boyd was a business executive, politician, and founder of Boyd's Packing House. He served as mayor of Omaha and the Governor of Nebraska.

Boyd Elementary opened in 1961, climaxing eighteen months of effort and the expenditure of nearly a million dollars by the Omaha Board of Education, to give a new school to a section of mushrooming Northwest Omaha. Its initial enrollment of 650 swelled to 900 in 1963, when three cottages were utilized in the area west of 90th Street to handle the overflow. The enrollment stabilized in 1964, with the opening of a new school to the west. .

Since its beginning in 1961, Boyd has established a tradition of parents and teachers working together for the children of the community. Involvement is the key which has brought the community and school together.

In the lobby, you will find a mural called Midsummer. The work was completed by Richard Harrison and Mike Giron. The mural honors the past, experiences the present, and imagines the furture.

Esther Pilster was Boyd's first principal, serving for twenty-one years. Pilster Park, down the street from Boyd Elementary, was named after her.

For decades, Boyd Elementary School has been an influential voice in education in this area. 

Boyd continues the tradition of parents and teachers working together for the children of the community.
