Principal's Message
Welcome back for another great year at Boone! We are very much looking forward to seeing all of our students return to school on September 6th and get off to a great start in their new classrooms.
This school year the Boone community will focus on three main priority areas that have been developed in our school improvement plan. This plan is also known as the CIWP (Continuous Improvement Work Plan), and is the guiding document for our work here at Boone. Our priorities for the year are Student Voice, Restorative Practices, and Tasks & Inquiry. We will highlight more of our work in each of these areas throughout the year.
Thank you all for your support in our ongoing work with your students, and we will see you soon!
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, Principal

"One" by Kathryn Otoshi
This year we have selected a book for a school-wide read that carries a powerful message for our entire community. All Boone students and staff will be reading and discussing the book “One” by Kathryn Otoshi. The book was selected for its connections to our school priorities of Student Voice and Restorative Practices. Parents are welcomed to check out a copy from the Library with Ms. Judy. We encourage everyone to further discuss the book’s message at home. See below for a video read-aloud by Kathryn Otoshi of her book "One."
