Special education and classroom teachers collaborate to mainstream special education students into regular classroom settings when possible. Boyd provides many leadership opportunities for students. Representatives from each classroom are selected to serve as student council representatives. Sixth grade students serve as safety patrols. Fifth grade students are trained and begin taking over the responsibilities of the sixth graders on safety patrol during the 4th quarter of the school year.
Students also have opportunities to become involved in extra-curricular activities.
Boyd has intermural teams in basketball. Fifth and sixth grade girls may join a school drill team or cheerleading squad which is sponsored by students from Northwest High School. Boyd also has a homework room, which students may choose to utilize to complete assignments and projects.
