Boone School Family Newsletter
May 2015 Online Edition
Principal's Message
As we push through the final quarter of this school year, I hope you will all take a moment to share some kind words and thanks with Boone Faculty and Staff as we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4-8. Be sure to tell your teachers how thankful you are for all their hard work!
We had 93% of families come out for Parent-Teacher Conference Day in April. Thank you to all of you who participated in our "Selfie Station" on your way to your conferences--the pics look great! Take a peek at all of those smiles now on display in the main hallway. Special thanks to Melad Sheeba for composing the collages.
And finally, our last round of the year of NWEA Testing will begin on May 11. Be on the lookout for a detailed schedule sent home to students in grades 2-8. This spring testing session is very important as it determines student promotion for grades 3, 6, and 8, and is a huge metric in our school's accountability rating under the CPS School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP). We look forward to seeing all students do their BEST!
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, Principal
