Keeping it Positive

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! Here at Buchanan, we are always trying to make learning a positive experience for our students. One of the ways we are doing that this year is by doing a "Positive Phone Call" each day.  I check with teachers every day to find out the good things that students are doing. If someone is doing an exceptionally good job, they get to come down to the office and we call the family and share out the great things happening. It only takes a few minutes, but it can brighten a child's whole day (and the family too)!  We are proud of our Buchanan Bears!

Did you know that we have moved recess to later in the day? Like many schools in LPS, we are trying out afternoon recess from 3:20-3:45. This allows our students to have more continuity with their afternoon instruction block. If you are a kindergarten parent, please make sure you wait until 3:50 PM to walk around the building for pick up to allow time for all students to enter the building first.  Also, if you need your child for early pick up, please call in advance so we can have your child ready in the office BEFORE students go out to recess.  Thank you for your continued support and Great things are happening at Buchanan!
