Safe Positive Learning

September Field Trips

Our students had a great time last month learning how to swim, learning about nature and learning about the Buchanan Community. We look forward to more valuable experiences throughout the year.

Important Reminders

If your child requires medication to be administered at school, a form must be filled out by your child's physician. Medication must be delivered to our office by an adult. Please do not send medications with your child to school. Medication forms are available in the front office during office hours.
Transportation changes MUST be made no later than 2:00 p.m. If you have a change in your child's dismissal plans, please contact our office prior to 2:00 p.m. ClassTag is not a reliable source to make transportation changes, as teachers are working within the classroom and may not see messages until it's too late.
Please allow 24-48 hours for ClassTag and email responses from your child's teacher or principal. If your needs require a faster response, please call our office and leave a message.
Carry your identification. If you will be picking up your child early from school, you will need to show the office personnel your identification before your child can be released. You will be asked to sign out your child on an office form.
