Boone Bear Facts

May is just a’rollin’ by. Very soon we will be closing the books on yet another school year!! It is hard to believe all we have been able to accomplish this year despite all the obstacles we have had to overcome. As I have told many of you in our conversations, I truly feel that the Boone Bears are slowly coming out of hibernation!

Last week we had two wonderful family events on campus with our Star Wars Movie Night and our Family Campus Camp-out last Saturday into Sunday. I want to send a huge thank you to all of our fabulous parents and staff who helped organize both of these events! Boone is strong because of you guys!!!

I can only imagine the great events that are already in the works for the next school year as we continue to awaken from our CoVid induced slumber. The Boone Bears are BACK!!

Parent Input Form for Class Placement for the 2022-23 School Year

Each spring, we begin looking at student class/teacher assignments for the next school year. This is a lengthy process and we do consider many things as we decide on the best placement for each child at Boone. Below is a link to a Google document for our Boone Parent Input form. In previous years, this has been a paper form that was sent home with the students. Due to CoVid issues we moved this process online a year or so ago. Due to the success of the online form, we are going to continue this same process this year.

We welcome your thoughts regarding the classroom learning environment that will work best for your child and thank you for not requesting any teacher by name. I am not able to honor specific teacher requests. Please note that your responses on this form may be shared with your child's future teacher.

I am asking that all input forms completed by May 20th.

Campus Advisory Council seeking new members for the 2022-23 school year

The Boone Campus Advisory Council is looking for 2-3 new parents to fill roles on the CAC. We meet on the third Monday of each month from 3:30–4:00 pm. The role of the CAC is to provide support and guidance over various school related topics and plans. Parent input is extremely valued at Boone and this is an important part of what keeps Boone great. An application for the CAC is attached to this newsletter. Please complete the application and submit it to the main office. The CAC will be reviewing the applications and voting on new members at our September meeting. If you have any additional questions, please contact me directly at 512-414-5311.
