Who should I call if I have a question?
Questions about procedures or activities at a school are best answered by calling the school. If you cannot receive the answer by those means, you may contact the Boaz City Schools Board of Education at 256.593.8180.

Are our schools accredited?
All Boaz City Schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Continued accreditation involves periodic reevaluation by committees of outside educators as well as self-study by the principal and school staff.

When are report cards sent home?
All students (grades 1-12) receive report cards every nine weeks.  Report card dates are listed in our School Calendar.

What grading system do you use?
Kindergarten students are evaluated during the year to determine their readiness for first grade.  All other grades use the following grading system:

A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 69 - 60
F  = 59 and below

Can my child ride a bus to school?
Bus transportation is provided for students who live inside the Boaz City Limits. Students new to the system should call the local schools for their bus schedules.

To enter a Alabama public kindergarten, students must be five by September 1, and to enter first grade, students must be six by that date.

Does the school system provide an after school program for students?
The system offers the Extended Day Program for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students and the 3:00 Project for middle students grades 6-8. For more information, call the Extended Day Office at 256.593.8180.

Are our schools safe?
As part of the Safe Schools Plan, periodically unannounced searches of middle and high schools are conducted. The school system enforces a "zero tolerance" policy against weapons, drugs and alcohol on campus. Individual schools under the School Improvement Plan have initiated their own safety measures. School Resource Officers assist in the middle and high schools.
