More than 33,000 Kentucky students now have access to supplemental services at school thanks to the recent opening of 28 new Family Resource Youth Services Centers (FRYSC), or “friskies” centers as they are commonly called. Kentucky now has 854 FRYSCs across the Commonwealth.

The primary goal of the centers is to remove non-academic barriers to learning in order to enhance student academic success. FRYSCs may provide referrals to health services, tutoring, clothing, food and other resources to students and their families. In the 2018 General Assembly, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) Division of Family Resource Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) was awarded approximately $8 million additional dollars to further the work of these local school-based centers. FRYSC held a competitive grant review for eligible schools statewide, resulting in the creation of the new centers.

Boone County Schools have a great team working tirelessly to make decisions on closing or delaying school, always keeping the safety of our students as the top priority.  As early as 3:00 a.m., if snow, freezing rain, sleet or other dangerous precipitation presents our Assistant Superintendent for Operations set out to inspect the road conditions. They drive designated routes, checking the roadways that are typically the most dangerous when snow covered.  The team considers safe travel not only on streets but sidewalks, parking lots, and  driveways.  Other conditions to consider include the outside temperature, wind chill factor and the amount of precipitation fallen or falling. The Assistant Superintendent for Operations contacts the county public works department to check on road clearing progress.  Once enough information is gathered and shared with the Superintendent the team focuses on one question:  Would you feel safe transporting students in a school bus in the current or predicted conditions?

In light of the Florida and Marshall County, Kentucky school tragedies, Superintendent Dr. Randy Poe working in collaboration with the Boone County Sheriff’s Department is adding additional School Resource Officers (SRO’s) to the district’s elementary schools. 

Boone County Schools is one of many school districts across the country that is being subjected to copy- cat threats of the school tragedy in Florida.  We are working with local authorities as they investigate a recent rash of rumors and threats on our campuses.  Student suspects in each of the cases were immediately identified and apprehended.  They were charged by local authorities and disciplined by their schools.   In each case a thorough investigation was conducted by the school district and authorities.  No student or staff member was ever in danger. Confidentiality laws prevent Boone County Schools from talking about the persons involved or the specifics of the incidents. Boone County Schools will continue to remain on alert, following our safety protocols and working with the Boone County Sheriff’s Department and Florence Police as future issues arise.

Come experience the diverse cultures within Boone County Schools on March 24th! See the amazing things our students are doing and learning! Click Here to learn more!

During the 2016-2017 school year, Boone County Schools reviewed the board policy for grading (08.221). A revision to the grading policy was enacted in May 2017 based on multiple meetings throughout the year to analyze and evaluate local, regional, and national data surrounding grading scales and their impact on student success.
The grading scale changes directly affect all students in grades 4-12. Details of the changes are listed below.
Boone County PREVIOUS Grading Scale:
● 94-100 = A
● 87-93=B
● 86-78=C
● 77-70=D
● Below 70 failing grade
Boone County Schools NEW Grading Scale Effective July 1, 2017:
● 90-100 = A
● 80-89 = B
● 70-79 = C
● Below 70 is “I” for INCOMPLETE until June 30 of the academic year. Students with an “I” will be provided support by the school to remediate learning to reach a 70. If the grade is still listed as an “I” after June 30, then it becomes a failing grade.
This new grading scale provides comparability of student achievement between Boone County Schools and that of many other districts across the nation.

Important Information about the Solar Eclipse

On Monday August 21^st, 2017 we will experience a total solar eclipse, an event that hasn’t occurred over the U.S. mainland since 1979.  A total solar eclipse, which is when the moon completely covers the sun, will occur across 14 states in the continental U.S. along a 70-mile-wide swath of the country.  While Boone County is not located in this area, we will still be able to view the partial solar eclipse.

This event will be an extraordinary educational opportunity for our students.  Many of our schools will have special activities or lessons planned for this day to accompany the event.  While this event is extremely exciting for our students, we must also acknowledge the importance of proper eye safety.  While it should be common sense not to stare directly at the sun with your naked eyes, this advice will be even more important during this event.  The eclipse must be viewed only through proper eclipse glasses.  Schools with planned viewing activities will require students to wear proper solar eclipse glasses.

In order to protect our students’ eyes during this event:

• Students will not participate in any unstructured outdoor activities, including recess
• Students will be advised to not look directly at the sun without wearing solar eclipse glasses
• We will provide additional personnel until 4pm for parents who do not want their children riding the bus during the eclipse.Children who do not ride the bus for that reason will have to be picked up by parents at 4pm.

Happy New Year or rather, Happy New School Year that is!
We are excited about seeing our 925+ students on Opening Day, August 16.

To help our Kindergarten and 1^st Graders get excited about our new school year, NHE Mascot Paws would like to email him/her a few words of encouragement.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately in layers over the next several days especially when riding the bus to and from school.

If the district calls a delay due to weather / temperature the school building will be delayed in opening as well. We had several students being dropped off well before the building was due open. We do not want any children exposed to the weather and be put in jeopardy. If we have a 1 hour delay the building doors will open at 9:00 / 2 hour delay the building doors will open at 10:00. We do not have staff available prior to operation hours to monitor students.

If you need assistance with winter attire please feel free to contact the school and we will work with you in finding what your child needs.

Have you ever wondered what technology your students are using here at New Haven? Are your kids talking about technology programs that they use here at school that you are unfamiliar with? If so, join us Wednesday, October 30th from 5:30pm-7:30 pm in the NH cafeteria for an informational session to learn more about these opportunities for your student!

Jennifer and Amy have completed their 60-hour training and graduated as Fellows of the Governor's Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership at the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence!

GCIPL projects are designed around our school's CSIP.  In fact, they have been trained to write their project in the same format as a CSIP, utilizing data and needs assessment.  Their project review to the Prichard Committee is scheduled for December 11.

They  were also presented Commendations from the Senate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky by Senators Chris McDaniel and John Schickel.

Please note that New Haven Elementary will be in session for students and teachers on Monday, November 11, 2013! Please make this correction on your directory calendar!

Thank You
