Farewell to our Retirees!
Farewell to our teachers who are retiring or moving on the the next adventure! Ms. Locke, Ms. Strong, Ms. Cadenda, Ms. Janusz and Mr. Lambert, you will all be dearly missed!
Juneteenth
El 19 de Junio es el diecinueve de Junio, también conocido como Día de la Libertad o Día de la Emancipación, la celebración afroamericana más antigua de la emancipación de la esclavitud. Junio 19 ha sido recordado y celebrado como un día festivo desde los primeros eventos públicos de Junio 19 en 1866. Obtenga más información con libros sobre libertad y justicia para todas las edades en su Biblioteca Pública de Chicago.
Please Return all CPS Technology by June 24th, 2021
As instructed by CPS, all devices assigned to students for remote learning (Chromebooks and iPads) must be returned back to Boone between June 22nd to the 24th. They can be dropped off by door 5 (playground door across from the bigger play structure, closer to the soccer field), where we will collect necessary information from each student and issue a receipt. From there, the devices will be properly assessed, cleaned, and placed back into classrooms for use during the next school year. Please note this only applies to students who borrowed Chromebooks and iPads from Boone. Personal devices are not part of this collection, thank you!
Hours are as follows:
June 22nd - 3:15 to 4:15 pm
June 23rd - 9:00 am to 3:15 pm
June 24th - 9:00 am to 3:15 pm
Students attending summer school will return their devices later in August. Any devices not returned to Boone during those listed dates will be disabled from use. For more information or questions, please direct them to Mr. Chi (ptchi@cps.edu).

Important Information about COVID-19 Vaccinations from the CPS Office of Student Health and Wellness
CPS is working to support students, parents, and families with accurate information about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Here’s what you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine:
The COVID-19 vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect yourself and your community against COVID-19.
The vaccine teaches our immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19.
The Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J vaccines have all been proven to be effective at preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19.
As we start to look to the 2021-2022 school year, it’s important to keep in mind that all students will either be fully remote or back to classroom learning five days a week. Here are some things to keep in mind and on the calendar if your student is returning to classroom learning in the fall:
All Chicago residents 12 years and older are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Minors under the age of 18 will need a parent or legal guardian present for the vaccine to be given.
Schedule your student’s COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible and their annual wellness checkup to ensure they have all required immunizations.
Información importante sobre las vacunas contra el COVID-19
CPS está trabajando para apoyar a los estudiantes, padres y familias con información precisa sobre las vacunas contra el COVID-19.
Esto es lo que necesita saber sobre la vacuna COVID-19:
La vacuna contra el COVID-19 es una forma segura y eficaz de protegerse y proteger a su comunidad. La vacuna le enseña a nuestro sistema inmunológico cómo reconocer y combatir el virus que causa COVID-19. Se ha demostrado que las vacunas Moderna, Pfizer y J&J son efectivas para prevenir enfermedad severa y la muerte por COVID-19.
Aquí hay algunas cosas a tener en cuenta si su estudiante regresa al aprendizaje en persona en el otoño:
Todos los residentes de Chicago mayores de 12 años ahora son elegibles para recibir la vacuna COVID-19. Los menores de 18 años necesitarán la presencia de un padre o tutor legal para que se les administre la vacuna.
Programe la vacuna contra el COVID-19 de su estudiante lo antes posible y programe el chequeo anual de salud para asegurarse de que tenga todas las vacunas requeridas.
Para obtener más información sobre las vacunas contra el COVID-19 o para programar una cita, visite nuestra página de recursos: Vacunación COVID-19. Para obtener más información sobre todos los servicios que la Oficina de Salud y Bienestar Estudiantil de CPS puede ofrecer, visite cps.edu/cfbu o llame a la línea directa de Healthy CPS al 773.553.KIDS (5437).

Parent Portal
Parent Portal gives parents the ability to view students' grades in real time. If you are setting up your Parent Portal account for the first time, please visit the First Time Parent Portal Set-Up link. This is a one-time step and not necessary after every school year. Once you receive your email from Aspen to help set up your username and password, you can access Parent Portal at Aspen Parent Portal.
If you already have a Parent Portal account, but are running into technical issues (forgot password, locked out, etc), please email Boone's tech coordinator Patrick Chi (ptchi@cps.edu) so he can reset your account. Once your account is reset, you should receive an email from Aspen with further instructions. Additional information provided by the district can be found at this link.
