March Updates
Dear Boone Community,
I wanted to share the latest updates as we continue to respond to COVID-19. All CPS cancelations listed below are for an indefinite time period, and information regarding any changes to these cancelations will be communicated as we receive them:
All Sports programming including games and practices are canceled
All assemblies, after school events, and field trips are canceled
Visitors and volunteers will not be permitted in the building, including those who volunteer in classrooms
*We are still awaiting guidance as to whether or not our after school programming will continue. I know this is a big uncertainty, and I hope to have an answer for you soon.
The following Boone events are either canceled or postponed until further notice:
March 13th - COVID-19 Info Session with Nurse Dennis
March 16th - Kindergarten Field Trip
March 19th - ExArts Open Classrooms
March 20th - Student of the Month assemblies
March 26th - “Into the Woods” Musical
March 26th - 8th Grade Field Trip to Planetarium
March 27th - 4th and 5th Grade Field Trip to Chicago Symphony
April 1st - Pre-K Field Trip to Chicago Children’s Museum
A reminder that right now, these are the most important things you can do to protect yourself and your school community:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
If you need help locating medical care, please reach out to the CPS Office of Student Health & Wellness at oshw@cps.edu or by calling the Healthy CPS Hotline 773-553-KIDS (5437). If you or your child has a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please contact the CDPH at 312-746-SICK (7425).
Thank you all for your support, and I wish you peace and health during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, Principal
