Early Head Start

Attention Boone Center families: Due to no water, the Boone Center will be on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, Dec. 19. School will begin at 10 am. The bus will begin running at 815 am. Staff should report to the center no later than 9 am.

Correction: the Center will be closed Thursday, December 14.

Attention Boone Center Early Head Start families: We understand that it can be difficult for families when we have to close the school or release students early. We looked into the water supply issue affecting your child's school and found that the project involves replacing the main waterlines that supply water to the town. Due to the age of most of the water lines, the crew frequently encounters unexpected breakages, resulting in the water supply being shut down. However, we have been in contact with the city and learned that they are working to shut down only a portion of the town instead of the entire town, which is great news. We will notify you as soon as we receive information about the water being turned off so that you can make alternative arrangements for your child's care. We appreciate your understanding that this situation is beyond our control, and we will do our best to ensure that your children have a positive school experience.

Attention Boone Early Head Start families: Due to circumstances beyond our control, there will be no school Wednesday, December 6. There is no water at the facility. We appreciate your patience and continued support.

Boone Center receives results for lead testing in drinking water fixtures. Parents will receive letters in the mail. Click on this link to learn more. https://www.cdsheadstart.com/o/ehs/article/1149671
