Boone County Schools is launching a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built to your school for smartphones. On the app, your students, parents, and community can read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. The Boone County Schools, KY app is available to download free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store.

The Boone County Boone County Board of Education approved May 28th as the last day of school for students! (May 20th has been added as an instructional day for students)
