At the January Board of Education Meeting, Wendy Murphy was recognized for her 32 years of service to the students and families of Buchanan Community Schools.

Tips for Staying Warm

Exposure to the cold can cause life-threatening health conditions. Avoid serious conditions such as frostbite and hypothermia, by keeping warm.

• Wear a hat, hood, or scarf, as most heat is lost through the head.

• Wear layers, as they provide better insulation and warmth.

• Keep fingertips, earlobes, and noses covered if you go outside.

• Keep clothing dry; if a layer becomes wet, remove it.

Michigan Department of Education released the letter grades for all schools in Michigan. We are proud of the academic accomplishments of our students at all schools. Each Wednesday our students are released early so that teachers can work in their Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). During this time teachers are reviewing student data, collaborate with team members, revising plans to meet the needs of each student. Through this work and the partnerships with parents and students, we are able to provide solid educational programming.

Congratulations to all of our schools!

We pledge our best efforts to make Buchanan Community Schools a premier school district, and we strive to create safe, welcoming, engaging, and innovative schools that develop all students’ academic, athletic, artistic, and social growth. We take pride in our community and we appreciate the support of our stakeholders! Thank you!

But we do realize that sometimes something might not go right, or you might have a question about what we do or how we do it. We welcome that communication, and we will work to solve your issue for you as efficiently as we can.

In order to do that, we ask that you follow our Chain of Command process shown in the diagram. On the left side of the process chart, you will see the common areas of district programming, and then following to the right would be the next step(s) in the Chain of Command for that district program area. Please start by contacting the staff member listed in the second box of each program area. The contact information for our leadership staff members with responsibility for addressing concerns is listed at the

top of the diagram. Other contact information for building staff is available on our website in the “Staff Directory” section of each building’s web page. It is expected that most issues should be able to be resolved at these initial steps in the Chain of Command.
