The Compass

School will not be in session on:

• Monday, October 14 - Teacher Work Day & Indigenous Peoples' Day
• Friday, November 1 - Teacher Work Day & Students will be to hyped up on sugar!
• Tuesday, November 5 - Teacher Work Day & Election Day (some school in Wake County are used as election sites)

This week, our school will focus on the character strength of Integrity. Integrity means being honest, truthful, and genuine.

Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching. People with integrity tell the truth and align their thoughts, feelings, and actions. They have the courage to stick to their beliefs, even if it means not following the crowd. Integrity is closely related to honesty and authenticity.

Integrity is essential for personal growth and well-being. When your thoughts, feelings, and actions are in harmony, you can grow and achieve your goals. Being authentic and genuine makes you more likable and trusted by others, improving your relationships.

To practice and encourage the character strength of integrity at home, please visit the Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families. There, you can watch a video, read a quote, and discuss three questions together.

Thank you for your continued support!

Our PTA has worked with a vender to ensure this link is open ALL YEAR!

Please only select ONE time period per family. This allows two families an option each day to have lunch with their children.

We are excited to offer the opportunity for parents and visitors to have lunch with students once again. However, in order to ensure safety, manage space limitations, and to ensure the process is successful we must maintain guidelines and expectations for logistics. Please read the expectations and logistics on the sign up.

We have been working this summer to update the Buckhorn Creek Parent/Student Handbook for the 2023-2024 School year. Please feel free to begin reviewing this document for information about our school.
