pencils, crayons, glue and so on.  When you shop for your students supplies would you consider picking up the same items for one extra child and bringing those supplies to our all day Stuff The Bus event Tuesday July 29th?  Click here for more information on Stuff The Bus.  Chick-Fil-A has promised a  financial donation to the school district who brings in the most.  The competition is between Boone and Kenton County School Districts.

It's important to know your school district is prepared in the event of an emergency.   Boone County School District administrators, faculty and staff are continually undergoing training for all types of emergencies.  Safety trainings are periodically updated to include and address new and evolving situations.  This month staff members from each school participated in a week long Management of Emergencies Classroom Course.  These staff members will train other staffers and students starting in the fall on things like preparing a classroom or assembly in advance of an incident, emergency medical, fire suppression and rescue, enhanced lockdowns including when to evacuate in the case of an active shooter and when and how to counter attack an intruder as seen in the photo above.  Also, how to manage the aftermath of a crisis event.  These safety trainings are part of an ongoing, never ending emergency preparedness process within the Boone County School District.     

We are just a little over a month away from school starting for the 2014-15 school year.  Is your child ready?  Are their records up to date?  Do they have their proper immunizations? Are you new to the district or have you moved within the district?  Go to www.boone.kyschools.us and click on the "parents" section at the top of the page to get all the information you need such as enrollment forms, bus routes, the district calendar and anything else you might need.
