The DB Beat

The Boonville School District invites all Pirate families and community members to attend all extra-curricular events and share in the tradition and pride our students are building.

Please review the following expectations needed to maintain a safe, respectful, and responsible environment for all:

BEFORE THE GAME

• Outside drinks or food will not be allowed inside the gate.

• Concessions and Booster Club tailgates are available at home Pirate football games.

• An adult must accompany all students Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade to attend the event.

FOOTBALL SEATING ZONES

• Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade students are to sit with their parent(s) or accompanying adult. This week, there will be a boundary around the scoreboard, please stay clear of the boundary for your safety. Students may sit on the hill or on the B near the scoreboard, but parents/accompanying adults are responsible for supervision and must be able to see their child at all times. Students are not permitted on the track.

• LSE Middle School students are to sit with parents or in the designated section of the Home Bleacher (bleacher section closest to the concession stand).

• BHS students are to sit with parents or in the designated section of the Home Bleachers (section closest to the band at football games).

FOCUS ON THE PIRATES

• During the event, all Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade students are encouraged to be in their seating zones cheering on the Pirates, in the restroom, or at the concession stand making a purchase.

• Please leave personal footballs, basketballs, frisbees, baseballs, softballs, etc. at home. Throwing or running games behind the stands or in the hallways is prohibited. Pirate community members young and old are amazing fans, and our teams need our attention and support!

District Supervision is provided at these events to uphold the expectations of everyone attending. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support. We look forward to seeing you at our Boonville Pirate football games!

My name is Lainey Byrd! I'm the new school nurse. I grew up in Sedalia, MO and went to the University of Missouri and obtained an engineering degree before completing nursing school with a Bachelor's in Nursing from the University of Central Missouri. I've lived in Texas, Arizona, and Warrensburg, MO where all my nursing experience has been in a hospital setting helping families welcome their new babies. I also have three small children of my own (a 5-year-old and 3-year-old twins) so I can certainly relate to the worry of having someone else take care of your precious children.

School nursing is a big change from the hospital, but I am loving it so far! We have lots of great kids and I look forward to meeting them all. I want you to know that I would love to hear from you regarding your student and any questions or concerns you may have. Please do not feel that any question is silly or any concern too small. Email is a fantastic way to communicate with me! I plan to send information frequently and hopefully in this newsletter in the future that will hopefully be informative and help to keep our students safe. Prevention is the best medicine!

Thank you,

Nurse Lainey
