Please join us for coffee, bagels, and donuts following drop-off on the first day of school. The event is open to parents/guardians and siblings. We look forward to getting to know our new and returning Buchanan families!

For those students being driven in, we provide curbside drop off. Please pull up in front of the gym and an adult will help your child out of the car and to the designated spot. We will do the same for all students as they exit the school bus. Please see the picture below to find the designated line up spot for each grade level. Kindergarten students will always line up in front of the main doors. 

Students riding the bus will be helped by adults and safeties into the appropriate bus line. Kindergarten students being picked up will be delivered to parents outside the classroom exterior doors (in the back of the building). Students in grades 1-4 will be picked up in the gym. The gym will be divided into four quadrants, one for each grade.  Parents may enter the gym through the exterior gym doors when they are opened at 3:55 PM.Thank you for your cooperation!
