Join us for an evening of school spirit at this year’s Homecoming Parade & Coronation! Bring your family and friends to celebrate our students and enjoy one of our favorite traditions. 🎉

The event starts at 6:30pm at Goeppinger Field. See you there! 📣

It’s National Tutor Appreciation Week! 🙌

We want to thank the individuals who support our students and make sure they remain on the right track. We appreciate all you do, each and every day!

National Coaches Appreciation Day and National Instructional Coaches Day remind us that coaches come in many forms. Athletic coaches build character and teamwork, while instructional coaches help their colleagues excel on behalf of their students.

Thank you to all coaches for your dedication to success! 🌟

During Fire Prevention Week, be sure to check your home's heating equipment. Have furnaces, fireplaces, and chimneys inspected annually, and keep flammable materials at least three feet away from heat sources. 🧑‍🚒

On World Teachers Day, we celebrate the dedication, creativity, and compassion teachers bring to their classrooms. Their impact extends far beyond academics, shaping character and building confidence in students.

Teachers: Thank you for all you do! ❤️

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. 🧡

We are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment where every student feels supported, valued, and respected. Together, we can promote kindness and inclusion every day!

Homecoming fun starts this Sunday! Student Council invites everyone to Street Painting from 2:00 to 4:00pm on 6th Street, located on the north side of Goeppinger Field. 🎨

Happy National Custodian Day! From cleaning classrooms to setting up for events and handling maintenance needs, our custodians are an essential part of our district.

Join us as we thank them for all they do! ✨

Strong attendance is more than just showing up—it's a key part of building meaningful connections at school. When students attend consistently, they’re more likely to form strong relationships with their teachers and feel a sense of belonging among their peers.

Being present matters for learning, for friendships, and for long-term success! 🌟

Safe schools start with all of us! #SeeSayDay reminds us that speaking up about potential safety concerns helps protect everyone.

Whether you're a student, parent, or community member, if you notice something that doesn't seem right, please share that information with a teacher, staff member, or another trusted adult. Together, we can ensure a positive learning environment! 👍

Homecoming is happening in a couple weeks! Be sure to mark your calendars for October 5-11.

We look forward to celebrating with our students, alumni, families, staff, and community! 🎉

Strong attendance is a key element of student success! ✅

Being in class each day helps students stay connected with their peers, build positive relationships with teachers, and keep up with the curriculum and activities. Consistent attendance supports learning, growth, and a sense of belonging in school! 😁

Boone CSD is proud to have more than 250 community partners supporting our students! These partnerships give students opportunities to gain valuable real-world experiences and prepare for success beyond the classroom. 🌟

School picture day is happening Friday, September 26!

✅ High School: Picture Day
✅ Middle School: Retake Picture Day

Boone students recently had the opportunity to share their voices by providing feedback to Iowa State University students about ideas for our community parks! 🌳

It was a great chance for our students to think creatively, practice communication skills, and see how their input can help shape the places where we live, learn, and play. 🌟

There will be no school on Monday, September 22. This is a professional development day for teachers. See you again on Tuesday! 👋

On National School Backpack Awareness Day, let’s take a moment to check our backpacks. Remove any unnecessary items and make sure you're using both shoulder straps.

Carrying a backpack on one shoulder can lead to muscle strain and poor posture over time! 🎒

Last week, 7th graders spent the day at Don Williams Park for the 28th annual “Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs” event, part of the Iowa DNR's Fish Iowa program. 🎣

Leading up to the trip, students practiced casting, knot tying, and canoeing safety in PE class. At the park, they put those skills into practice during a full day of fishing and canoeing.

This experience builds confidence in outdoor activities and teaches lifelong skills students can enjoy for years to come.
