Boone Trail Times

Welcome back, Wolfpups!

What a wonderful start to the school year we've had! We were so happy to see all of your bright, smiling faces these first two weeks. Your energy and enthusiasm have made our halls feel full of life again.

A Roaring Kickoff!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our annual Back to School Kickoff event. It was a fantastic evening filled with fun, food, and community spirit. It was so great to see so many of our Wolfpup families connecting with teachers and staff. The success of the event truly shows how much our community embodies this year's theme: Be the Light. Your support helps our school shine!

Looking Ahead

As we settle into our routines, we encourage all our Wolfpups to continue being a light for their friends and teachers. Remember, a simple act of kindness, a helping hand, or a positive attitude can make a big difference. We have so much to look forward to this month!

Our first late start day is Monday, Sept. 15. The WSD will be providing supervision for K-5 students who need to be dropped off at the regular start time on scheduled Late Start Days this school year. This is separate from our Before Care Program through Chautauqua. To register your student for Late Start Supervision, visit the Late Start website.

Boone Trail's doors open at 10:05 a.m. with school beginning at 10:20 a.m. AM bus routes run two hours later.

The lunch schedule does not change.

This fall, teachers and reading interventionists will be conducting reading assessments with all students. These assessments help us plan lessons and identify students who might benefit from extra reading support. In addition, our building reading specialists will work with small groups of students at the beginning of the year. These flexible groupings are not the same as Reading Intervention, families will be contacted directly by their child's teacher if he/she qualifies for Reading Intervention. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's classroom teacher.
