Hello Blazer Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying these last few days of summer. Our high school team of administrators and support staff have been busier than ever preparing for the start of the 2023-24 school year. We will welcome the Class of 2027 to the building this year, along with some new staff. A few notes as we begin the school year:
Infinite Campus: Back to School Process
Each school year, as part of the District’s Back to School process, parents and guardians of returning students are required to review, confirm, and/or update their household and student demographic and health information online via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This process can be completed now to avoid the hectic time at the start of the school year. You do not have to complete the verification in one sitting.
To submit your information, please do the following from a desktop or laptop computer: 1. Sign into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal (https://dboonepa.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/daniel_boone.jsp)
2. Choose the More option from the navigation menu on the left.
3. Click on the Online Registration option.
4. Click the button to start an existing registration.
For further instructions, please see https://sites.google.com/dboone.org/techhelpcenter/infinite-campus/back-to-school-verification The Back to School process must be completed by Friday, September 8.
If you have any difficulty completing the process, please submit a help ticket at https://bit.ly/dbtechforparents. Please continue to enjoy your summer. We look forward to seeing you on August 28!

Absence Request or Late Excuses:

Please be advised for tracking purposes parents and guardians must enter absence requests through their Infinite Campus parent portal, emails will no longer be accepted. For more information on how to submit an absence request follow this link: Absence Request
Parking:
DBAHS Parking Permit - Is located in the school store of Infinite Campus. Information on how to get to the school store can be found HERE. All student vehicles need to be registered when parking on campus.
Special Note: Students must park in the student parking lot this year 23-24. The front and back lots are for staff and visitors only. A two week grace period will follow the first day of school and run through September 8, 2023. This will allow students to apply for a parking permit. After September 8, 2023 lots will be patrolled by district security.
Blazer Day:
Our opening school day is not a cycle day, the day is a “BLAZER” day. All students have a Blazer section located in the X block on their Infinite Campus Schedules. The Blazer section will say Blazer 9 (10, 11 or 12) with the teacher's name and room number. All students will report directly to their Blazer section classrooms on the first day.
What is a BLAZER day?
Each school year a number of logistical items require completion. These items formally impacted students and teachers' instructional class time during the first few months of school. In an effort to maximize efficiency. All of these items have been moved up to the first day, along with normal opening day items. Students will complete pictures, height and weight, vision (11th grade), class meetings, cap and gown assembly (12th grade), class ring assembly (10th grade), and fun activities led by our Blazer ambassadors.
Pictures:
Pictures will be on the first day of school. Please click HERE for order form, or you can order online:
