Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week at home.  It's been another great week here.  We have really started getting into academics with our benchmark assessments like STAR and assessments in our new reading series.  The students area doing awesome with procedures and their behavior.  I continue to be impressed with how smoothly this year has started.

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight for our PTA party on the playground.  I know the kids had a great time. Special thanks to all the volunteers who made the night happen.

We are currently seeking a minority SBDM member.  If you are a minority as defined by KDE and are interested in running for SBDM, please reach out to amy.roedersheimer@boone.kyschools.us

Remember there is NO SCHOOL on Monday for the Labor Day Holiday.  I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend with family and friends.  I will see all my Bobcats back at school on Tuesday!

 Yealey Families,

We have had a great full week of school!  This week we continued to work on establishing routines and classroom culture with our Leader In Me First 8 days lessons.  I have enjoyed spending time in the classrooms seeing students react to stories showing their empathy and compassion.  I have also seen students practice writing letters and demonstrating letter sounds.  

Over the next couple of weeks we will be doing our beginning of the year STAR benchmark tests. We use these results to plan instruction and make some mid-year goals.

The construction on the bus loop in the back of the building has been very busy this week.  The kids have had a front row seat for seeing a lot of dirt moved and it's been very exciting.  I can't wait to have this complete and open for our use so that we can separate parent pick up and bus dismissal.  I'm sure our Florence neighbors will appreciate us containing all our traffic too!

Have a good weekend - get out and enjoy the weather!

 Yealey Families,

We are off and running in the 2024 - 2025 school year.  It was an amazingly smooth start!  Even the kindergarten students came in like they've been doing school for years.  

We have a delay in the shipment of our agenda books so I am attaching a copy of our handbook here in case you need it.  As soon as they come in, we will send them home and ask that you sign the page acknowledging that you have read the handbook and Title 1 Parent-Family Compact. Student Handbook  Last we heard they were on a ship in the Pacific Ocean.

Construction update - we are continuing in phase 1 of the project.  Our restrooms by the art room were open and ready for business when students arrived yesterday.  Work is continuing on our bus loop and I hope it will be completed soon.  Phase 1 should be complete by Fall Break!

I hope everyone is getting back into the school routines and schedules at home.  Enjoy your weekend and we will tackle a full week next week!

 Yealey Families,

Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year!  We are looking forward to seeing everyone Monday evening (4:00 - 7:00) for our back to school fair.  We will have a Scavenger Hunt for you to complete and PTA will provide a prize to everyone who finds all the tables.  When you arrive find Mrs. Taulbee, Ms. Anderson, me or visit one of the PTA tables set up outside the office and gym to get your scavenger hunt paper.  Get signatures from all the required stops and then check back in with the PTA table to get a prize.

As I mentioned in my last message the big construction project is underway.  Currently we have rooms 12 - 21 being renovated along with the bathrooms outside of the art room.  Throughout the year, we will have different sections of the building getting renovated until we are all new!  This renovation has been a long time coming and we couldn't be more excited to finally see progress.  Thank you to the parents (current and past) that helped advocate for this renovation.  My Bobcats deserve a beautiful building and we are finally getting one!  It will mean a year of flexibility but know we will do everything we can to keep things moving smoothly and safely.

I update this blog every Friday we are in school a full week.  I will send a Bloomz message and an IC email with the link when I update it.  Please be sure to check that for schoolwide messages.  

It's going to be a great year!

Mrs. Turner
