NYS Graduation Requirements
Being College and Career Ready should not wait until your child reaches the Middle or High School.
Boonville Elementary believes that being College and Career Ready starts right here.
The building blocks for all academic content areas start in grades PK - 5. Students in elementary learn how to read, write, compute and analyze math. They receive background knowledge through stories and articles pertaining to important concepts and real world events through science and social studies. Students in the elementary develop their first passions for the Arts through classes in art, band, library, music, and technology allowing them to be creative and pursue their own interests.
