The ZCHS Principal's view: - Boone County Community Network

Get ready for an exciting, event-filled senior year. We'll be talking
the "G" word (Graduation) early in the fall with a class meeting on
October 15, 8:00 am, in the PAC. At this time the
Herff-Jones representatives will be here to talk about
ordering caps and gowns and graduation announcements.
Any seniors who did not have their pictures taken
over the summer or during Back to School Days may
do so on picture retake day, September 29. We want
to be sure EVERY senior has their picture taken for
the yearbook and the composite. We’re looking forward
to a wonderful year and hope it's a memorable
one for our graduating seniors.

Zionsville is a great place to raise a family. Our community is committed to
encouraging healthy living and providing resources for positive learning experiences.
“It takes a village to raise a child,” and the Community Conversation
Group offers these core principals to promote this concept.
We cannot overstate how important it is to discuss the process of making
safe and healthy decisions with your children. Your child may not enjoy
these conversations, but they are critical in establishing your expectations
up front. We all want our children to be safe!
We encourage you to get to know your
child’s friends and their parents. It is not
offensive to call the home where your
son or daughter is visiting or staying
overnight. We hope that this will be
expected and welcomed by all! We have
found that many of our children’s poor
decisions have been the result of miscommunication.
Please call or visit to
ensure that your child is in a safe environment.
Please do not be offended when others call or visit you. We all
want our children to be safe!
Good kids make bad decisions when given the opportunity; this is part of
the growing-up process. It is our responsibility as adults to limit the opportunities
for bad decisions as much as possible. Stay in communication
with your child. Know whom they are with,
where they are, and where they are going next.
Limit access to unhealthy or unsafe items in
your home. Do not assume that they will make
the right decision on their own. We all want our
children to be safe!
Support our local law enforcement. They
are working hard to protect all of us from the harmful effects of poor decisions.
Please support them and the laws they are hired to enforce. Consider
using them as a positive resource in your efforts to encourage good
decisions by your children. We all want our children to be safe!
We encourage you to take some time and use this vision statement as a starting
point for a conversation with your children. We believe this level of communication
will help our children be safe!
