Big thanks to a couple of our Franklin families for providing snacks for our staff this week! LuAnn Elsberry & the Cox family - thanks for thinking of us! 😊
Congratulations to our students who received the last Kid of Character certificates of 2022!
Due to the forecast for inclement weather, school has been cancelled for all Boone Schools on Thursday, December 22. Evening practices and activities scheduled for Wednesday, December 21 are also cancelled. We hope everyone stays safe and warm!
Franklin Families: Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be pajama day at Franklin. It was originally scheduled for Thursday but due to the potential of inclement weather, we decided to move it up a day. At this time, we ARE scheduled to have school on Thursday and any cancellations will be determined at a later time if necessary.
Boone Schools will be on a 2 hour delayed start tomorrow (Friday, December 16). There will be no school breakfast. Doors at Franklin will open for students at 9:45 and school begins at 10:10. Stay safe everyone!
BCSD will have a two hour late start Friday, December 16th.
Cafe Winter is now open! (For 3rd grade)
Franklin Parents: You may have heard about our upcoming Cafe' Winter event that's happening later this week at Franklin. We always love to have parents join us for lunch at Franklin. However, this is a special event for students that happens in the library and space is extremely limited. For this reason, we ask families NOT to attend lunch with students on the day they attend Cafe' Winter. 3rd grade will attend Cafe' Winter on Thursday of this week and 4th/2nd will attend Cafe' Winter on Friday. Any other day would be a great day to stop by and join us for lunch! We'll make sure to post lots of pictures of Cafe' Winter on our Facebook page. Thanks for your help with this!

It was an absolutely fabulous 18th Festival of Hope! Thank you to all who came out and supported us again this year! We continue to be amazed by our community year after year. If you were unable to make it to the festival, but still want to contribute, you can send donations to any Foundation Board Member or to our P.O. Box 105, Boone, IA 50036!
It’s always amazing to see the community come together for our festival. We truly couldn’t do it without everyone who comes out to support us year after year. We are incredibly thankful!
Reminder: Today is an early release for teacher professional development. Students will be dismissed at 1:10.
Come and check out the Hope Festival today and hear some beautiful music by our Franklin 4th grade choir at 10:00! ❄️☃️
The students from the high school foods class will be selling holiday cookie decorating kits inside the activities entrance at the high school on Friday, December 9th starting at 6:00 p.m. until they sell out. Cost is $15 per kit. See the attachment for more information.
Today is National Special Education Day! We're so thankful for our special education teachers and associates and the amazing work they do with kids!
This is a TEST of the BCSD weather notification system. This is only a TEST message. If you are in receipt of this message, you will receive weather notifications for school delays and cancellations in the same manner. School is still scheduled to start on time tomorrow.
Parents of 4th Grade Choir Members:
Please see the information below from Mrs. Cunningham regarding the performance this Saturday at the Hope Festival. Feel free to reach out to Mrs. Cunningham if you have any questions. We're looking forward to a great performance!
From Mrs. Cunningham:
Students should dress nicely, they can wear "festive" outfits (ugly Christmas sweaters etc) or whatever they are comfortable performing in
We will meet at the High School commons at 9:45. Students should leave coats with their family and come stand on the risers that will be at the end of the room by the big TV screen and library windows
We will be done performing by 10:30.
I've asked students to bring a pair of clean socks for our sock song. I will have extras available if someone forgets. They can also bring them and leave them with me this week and I will bring them Saturday.
Thanks for all your support for our 4th grade choir! They sound great and we are excited to perform.
All of these glasses are in our lost and found at Franklin. If your student is missing a pair of glasses and you recognize any of these, please contact Brittany at the Franklin office so we can return them to the owner.
2nd grade families: The annual 2nd grade gingerbread house decorating will take place on December 9 at 2:00. Our second grade teachers are in need of donations for this fun event. Please check Seesaw and email for more information from the our second grade teachers about how to sign up for donations. Thanks a lot!
Big thanks to the Boone Daybreakers Kiwanis for their generous donation of snacks, Clorox wipes, and self-care items including toothbrushes and toothpaste! We appreciate their support and are so thankful for our community partners!
In an effort to increase my communication within the district and with our community at large, I have started a Vlog. Enjoy the first episode where I explain how I make weather decisions!
