Boone County Schools will operate on a TWO-HOUR DELAY for THURSDAY JANUARY 29th due to continued weather conditions. As always, the safety of our students and families is our top priority. Doors will open at 10:00 for breakfast. We recognize that road and sidewalk conditions can vary across the county. If you feel that it is unsafe for your child to walk to school or wait at their bus stop, you must contact your building principal. In those situations, an excused absence will be provided. Thank you for your flexibility and for helping us keep students safe.

Due to inclement weather all Boone County Schools will be CLOSED for WEDNESDAY JANUARY 28TH. Due to uncleared or partially cleared neighborhoods and cul-de-sacs, driving snow, extreme cold and likely ice from overnight refreezing along with our concerns for snow piles at some bus stops, challenging bus turnarounds, and unclear sidewalks, we will be canceling school for Wednesday January 28th 2026.

Unfortunately, due to school being closed, we must cancel our Messy Science Night scheduled for tomorrow evening. I know students and families were looking forward to this event and I am actively working with the Kentucky Science Center to reschedule. Once we confirm a new date, I will let families know.
