The Compass

This Friday we will host a Super Hero Spirit Day! The weather took many things off track and this was one of them....so we are taking a redo!

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!

Thank you for the complete flexibility you have provided our school as we work to navigate around the weather. We are all set to host our Matey-Move-a-thon on Wednesday! Sunny skies are predicted and we could not be happier!

Families are welcome to join students during the Matey-Move-a-thon this year. More information will be sent later this week.

Thank you on behalf of the staff for all of your support.

This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Being present and giving others my attention. This means when we are with other people, we are present and give them our full attention.

In today's world, it's easy to get distracted by phone calls, messages, and social media. These distractions can pull us away from what's most important — our relationships with other people.

Just as plants need sunlight to grow, our relationships need attention. If we don’t give our full attention when we are with our family, friends, and even colleagues, we can't build strong relationships. It’s crucial to put down our phones and tablets and really listen when others are talking. Positive relationships are the foundation of a positive culture, and we can’t build positive relationships without attention.

To practice and encourage the Other People Mindset of being present and giving others our attention, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families. There, you will watch a video clip together and discuss a quote and three questions.

Thank you for your 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.
