Promotion Policy Update for Elementary School Students
CPS has made an important change to our Elementary Promotion policy. Beginning this year, promotion for students in benchmark grades 3, 6, and 8 will be determined based on the student’s final grades in Reading and Math and will not take into account any assessment scores. Students with final failing grades in Reading and/or Math for both the 21-22 school year and the 20-21 school year will be required to successfully complete summer school to be promoted to the next grade level.
These changes were put in place by CPS and the Board of Education to allow the district time to understand how to assess student performance in the wake of learning disruptions created by the pandemic. These recent adjustments also allow the district to assess student performance from a historical perspective, instead of at one point in time. Electronic versions of the 2021-2022 School/Parent Guide to the Elementary School Promotion Policy may currently be found in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Arabic and Urdu.
Accelerated Placement Application & Information
The application for 2022-2023 Whole-Grade Acceleration is now open on our website at go.cps.edu/accelerated-placement. The Board of Education voted on a resolution to waive the NWEA requirement as well as exclude third graders from being able to apply. Thus, for the 2021-2022 application cycle, only students currently in grades 4-6 can apply. The parent/legal guardian will complete and submit an online application here to the Office of Access and Enrollment during the application window of October 13, 2021 until December 15, 2021 at 5 pm. No late applications will be accepted.
Solicitud e información de colocación acelerada
La solicitud para la Aceleración de grado completo 2022-2023 ya está abierta en nuestro sitio web en go.cps.edu/accelerated-placement. La Junta de Educación votó una resolución para renunciar al requisito de NWEA y excluir a los estudiantes de tercer grado de la posibilidad de presentar una solicitud. Por lo tanto, para el ciclo de solicitud 2021-2022, solo los estudiantes que actualmente se encuentran en los grados 4-6 pueden postularse. El padre / tutor legal completará y enviará una solicitud en línea aquí a la Oficina de Acceso e Inscripción durante la ventana de solicitud del 13 de octubre de 2021 hasta el 15 de diciembre de 2021 a las 5 pm. No se aceptarán solicitudes fuera de plazo.

SHOUT OUTS!
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!
- Would like to take a moment to show appreciation to Mr. Garcia. He has done an amazing job filling in for Ms. Main while on leave. We were nervous about starting a new year in person with so many uncertainties. Mr. Garcia has been with room 209 since the beginning of the year. This group of students and parents could not thank him enough for all that he has done. He greets all the students and parents in the morning with such a warm welcome. Mr. Garcia has gone above and beyond to connect with the students. Hearing from students that he took the initiative to check on them during recess after a few incidents shows how much he cares about these students. We are so lucky to have you Mr. Gracia! --From Summer A
- To Boone - Thank you for being a great school/community i love you all. --From Hannah H
¡Reconocimientos!
