Principal's Message
Dear Families and Friends of Boone School,
Can you believe we are quickly approaching the end of the 1st quarter? Our students and teachers have been hard at work for nearly 10 weeks, and soon you will have the opportunity to visit with teachers and discuss your students’ progress towards their goals. Please be sure to join us on Wednesday, 11/12/14, for Parent-Teacher Conference day. This will be a fun-filled event with activities throughout the day. More information coming soon.
As we head into November with Thanksgiving time right around the corner, I invite you to take a moment today to share with your children some of the reasons why you are thankful for them. Remind students of the unique qualities and talents they bring to the world, and thank them for all they do to make our lives richer!
Thank YOU for all you do to support our students on a daily basis. It is a pleasure and gift to watch them learn and grow each day.
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, PrincipalWinter Weather is on the Way!
Second Step & Social Emotional Learning
This school year we have begun implementing a new Social Emotional Learning curriculum called Second Step. This program focuses on developing the following skills in our students: self-regulation, emotion management, problem-solving, and having empathy. In alignment with the Second Step program, we believe that social-emotional learning promotes students’ school success and connectedness and contributes toward a safe and respectful school climate. Please be sure to check in with your students and ask them what they have been learning in Second Step! If you'd like to learn more online about the program, click here.
