There will be an informational parent/student meeting for incoming 5th grade students on Monday, May 23rd at 5:30 at Boone Middle School. They will go through general policies and procedures for BMS and end with a tour of the building. In addition to this, they will also have an open house in August for parents/students to visit the building before school starts. This will be a great opportunity to help our 4th graders (almost 5th grade) get off to a great start in middle school. All of our 4th graders went over for a tour of BMS on Wednesday but it's great to attend with a family member. Please contact the BMS office with any questions!

Please sign into your Infinite Campus parent portal and go to the SURVEY button located on the top center under the Message Center. This is a one question survey to let us know if your student(s) will be returning next year. The survey will be open from April 29th until May 15th. Once you have done the survey you will be given directions on how to register your student in your parent portal account. If you missed them the registration is under the MORE button found on the bottom left side.

Boone CSD students in grades 5-12 have the great opportunity to utilize a Chromebook for learning. To encourage ongoing educational opportunities, students will continue to have access to their Chromebooks by taking them home during the summer months. To assist you, the district is providing the following tips for summer Chromebook use.

This week’s Top Toreador is Cassie Alber! We are thankful for all the roles she fills at BHS. Thank you for all you do for our students!

Please come to our ribbon cutting event at Cap Erbe Park on May 16th at 6:00 p.m. We are celebrating the hard work of our high school EDGE students and middle school students as we introduce the interpretive signage board and story walk. High school students created a conservation sign and middle school students wrote stories for the story walk! Hope to see you there!

Your defending National Champion DMACC Bears would like to invite all 2nd - 8th grade students to sign up for the chance to be a Ball Boy/Girl for the Men's Basketball Team. There will be an opportunity for 4 students to participate at each home game. Each participant will receive a t-shirt to wear during the game that they will get to keep. They will also receive free entry into the game along with 4 passes for family/friends to get into that same game. Please arrive at each game 20 minutes (times on sign up reflect this adjustment) before tip off to receive t-shirt and instructions. We will meet in the upstairs weight-room, above the gymnasium. Finally, a parent/guardian must be present with each participant.

Pease sign up early as we anticipate this being a popular opportunity, and space is limited! Limit two games per student per season. When signing up, please be sure to include the school, grade, and shirt size (Youth Medium - Adult Large) of the participant. Go Bears!!!

YSS Mentoring Program - Update and Volunteer Opportunity!

The YSS Mentoring Program is looking forward to a return to in-person mentoring for the 2021-2022 school year! The program matches students in grades K-8th with a trained volunteer mentor once per week during the school day. These weekly meetings provide a positive, caring role model to eat lunch with, play games and simply talk about the student's interests and ideas.

Information and volunteer applications can be found at https://www.yss.org/program/mentoring.To learn how your child can become a participant, contact Tracy at boonementoring@yss.org or Heidi at hchopskie@yss.org.

• This school year, thanks to federal pandemic waivers, all students will be eligible for free meals, regardless of family income.

• School meal programs nationwide are experiencing many of the same supply chain issues that have impacted restaurants and grocery stores throughout the pandemic.

• Our school nutrition team is committed to ensuring students continue to have access to healthy meals each school day.

• Just as families have to make substitutions on grocery lists, schools will have to make some last-minute changes to our regular menus, based on availability.

• We hope parents and students will be patient as we sort through these supply chain issues.

• We may not have the same menu choices that we typically offer our students, but we’ll be sure that all students are nourished and ready to learn.

*Reminder: For students bringing a sack lunch and wanting school milk, there will be a .50 cent charge per carton.

Toreador Families,

Our "Online Athletics Registration" is live and active for the 2021-22 School Year (link is below). Please take the time to read through the information, and fill out the forms for your student. All students involved in District-Sponsored Athletics in grades 7-12 will need a completed online athletics registration on file, along with a current physical form (physicals are valid for 13 months after the date of the physical). There is a place within the registration to upload the completed physical form.

Completion of the Registration/Physical is not required for the attendance at any summer camps that may be offered. However, the Athletics Registration and Physical Form must be completed and on file before a student may physically participate in practice this Fall. For High School, this starting date is Monday August 9th. Middle School practices will begin a couple weeks later near the first day of school.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns in this process.

Take care, and Roll 'Dors!
