Are you planning to enroll your child for preschool at Ledges Elementary for the 2026-27 school year? Here are a few tips to make sure your child is ready for success:
🍎 Provide your child with the time to dress themselves independently.
🍏 Provide your child with the time and opportunities to practice putting on and taking off their shoes independently.
🍎 Provide experiences for your child to ask for help before jumping in to provide support.
🍏 Ensure your child knows and practices how to use their words to communicate!
🍎 Read with your child. Let them choose the book, orient the book, and turn the pages. Doing so allows children to learn the basics of reading so they are ready for storytime and independent book opportunities in the classroom!
We’re so excited to welcome our youngest learners this fall at Ledges, and we hope we can work with families on building and growing these skills together!

Congratulations to our talented 8th grade band students who represented Boone CSD at the Orpheus Honor Band Festival! 🎶
Students spent an afternoon at Simpson College rehearsing challenging repertoire with guest conductors Seth Banwell (Newton) and Jayson Gerth (Southeast Polk). All that preparation and hard work culminated in a final concert for their families and guests.
Beyond the music, these students gained leadership skills and growth that they’ll bring back to strengthen our band program. This is a well-deserved honor for these musicians: Lauren Erickson, tuba; Madeline Schemmel, trumpet; Chloe Ritzman, flute; Ethan Franzeen, tenor sax; Reese Howie, percussion; and Hannah Baker, flute! 🎉
