Boone Community School District

Attendance matters! Regular attendance not only helps students grasp the concepts better, but it also keeps them connected with teachers and friends. Parents and guardians, your role in this is crucial. Encourage your child to attend school regularly and support their academic progress. 🤝

Let us take a moment today to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We remember the heroes who risked everything to save others and our nation’s enduring spirit in the face of adversity.
