Principal’s Message

Many of our Braves will begin testing for PMA 1 (Progress Monitoring Assessment 1) this week. The PMA 1 occurs during the first nine-week quarter and serves as a baseline score, allowing teachers to track student progress in learning the Florida Department of Education B.E.S.T. Standards (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) from PMA 1 to PMA 2.

The first half of October will be a busy period, including Homecoming. Please note that we will hold our monthly SAC meeting Tuesday, October 6, at 5:30 pm, and, as always, all members of our Boone community are welcome and encouraged to attend. The primary focus of these meetings is discussion of our ongoing school improvement efforts, so community feedback is greatly appreciated.  

Boone events - 1st half of October:

•    Sept. 28-October 1: Modified Bell Schedule - PMA1 Testing
•    Oct. 1: Start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
•    Oct. 1: Homecoming Barbecue after the parade on the practice field
•    Oct. 2: Connectivity Day 1
•    Oct. 2: Homecoming Football Game vs. Horizon High School at 7 pm
•    Oct. 3: Homecoming Dinners and Dance
•    Oct. 6: School Advisory Council (SAC) meeting, 5:30 pm
•    Oct. 9: End of Quarter 1
•    Oct. 15: Last day of National Hispanic Heritage Month

Here's to a strong finish to September Wednesday and to a great start for October Thursday. We only have 10 instructional days left in the quarter, Braves, so please take advantage of each one. 

Forever Brave,

Hector Maestre, Ed.D.
