Boone Post
April 16, 2021
Dear Boone Community,
We believe in student voice at Boone, and we want our students to engage in meaningful conversations with their teachers and peers, even when issues are sensitive.
Late last month, 13-year-old Adam Toledo, a student at Gary Elementary School, was shot by Chicago police and his death has shaken our CPS family. To ensure our students have an outlet for their questions and emotions, CPS has developed a collection of professional and mental health resources for our educators to use in their classrooms.
I encourage you to review these materials so you understand how this situation will be discussed at school and to assist you with conversations at home. Thank you for your support, and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn Delaney, Principal
Estimado Comunidad de Boone:
Creemos en la voz de los estudiantes en Boone, por lo que queremos que nuestros estudiantes participen en conversaciones significativas con sus maestros y compañeros, incluso cuando se trata de temas sensibles.
A finales del mes pasado, Adam Toledo, un estudiante de 13 años de la Escuela Primaria Gary, fue disparado por un policía de Chicago; su fallecimiento ha estremecido a nuestra comunidad de CPS. Para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes tengan un medio para sus preguntas y emociones, CPS ha elaborado una colección de recursos profesionales y de salud mental para que nuestros educadores los usen en sus aulas.
Les animo a leer estos materiales para que entiendan las maneras como se discutirá esta situación en la escuela, y para ayudarles con las conversaciones en casa. Les agradezco por su apoyo y les aliento a comunicarse conmigo directamente si tienen cualquier pregunta o preocupación.
Atentamente,
Directora Jackie Delaney

Is there someone at Boone who you would like to recognize for their hard work, kindness, or other awesome quality? Please click here on the Boone Community Shout-Out form to take a moment to acknowledge that person. Your message may appear in the next post!
- Thanks to Ms. Saeed, Ms. Alexander, and Ms. Simonetta for helping Shurahbeel adjust to the remote learning environment. In the beginning of the year Ms. Saeed listened to my concerns and followed my every request. She is always willing to arrange meetings whenever needed. Ms. Simonetta offered to work with Shurahbeel every Friday after class. This helped Shuraheel engage confidently with adults. Ms. Alexander would call out on Shurahbeel during classroom discussion to encourage him to speak his mind. Now Shurahbeel enjoys his class and actively participates in class especially during classroom discussions. Last year it was Ms. Mary and Ms. Jehan and this year is the awesome team of Room 112! I love how these outstanding teachers remind me every year of how fortunate I am to send my son to Boone. --Mother of Shurahbeel
Gritos!
