Did you know that 9th grade attendance is better at predicting drop-out rates than a student’s 8th grade test scores?
Students need to be in school every day – even if they’re doing well in all their classes. Consistent attendance is key for keeping students on track towards graduation. Please make sure your student is in school today!

Chronic absenteeism increases as students get older. More than 14 percent of middle school students are reported as chronically absent. That number climbs to over 20 percent once they get to high school.
Boone CSD calls on parents, guardians, and family members to encourage regular attendance. If school is in session, students should be in school.

Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the incredible commitment of those who have served our country. We are forever grateful.
Yesterday was an incredible day at Boone Middle School as our 8th grade students embarked on a journey of exploration during the 8th Grade Explore Your Future Day! 🚀📚
Choosing from a variety of industries like aviation, sports communication, trades, education, and more, students spent half the day hands-on in the workforce and the other half in enlightening sessions with business professionals at school. 🛫🔧
The sessions covered vital skills—time management, professionalism, handling criticism, completing applications, navigating social media, attention to detail, customer service, and more. A big THANK YOU to the 23 businesses that contributed through engaging presentations and insightful tours!
To conclude the day, each student wrote a reflection in their Portrait of a Graduate portfolio and learned how to write thank-you notes. 📝🎓
We appreciate all the businesses, professionals, and educators who made this day a success! Our students are now more equipped and inspired for the exciting journey that lies ahead!
November is National Scholarship Month! 🎓If you plan on attending college in the fall, now is a great time to get started on your scholarship applications.
