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.
At what age will my
child start school?
To enter a Alabama pre-kindergarten program, eligible* students must
be four by September 1. To enter a Alabama public kindergarten, students
must be five by September 1, and to enter first grade, students must be

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. |
