Once more unto the breach dear friends

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! Here we go again. For the next few weeks, our Face to Face student will be receiving instruction through remote learning. Our Livonia Virtual students will continue with their same schedule. Until we return to in person instruction, ALL students will be following the same schedule:

Kindergarten, Second, Fourth Grades

10:00 AM, 12:00 PM & 2:00 PM

First and Third Grades

9:00 AM, 11:00 AM & 1:00 PM

I know these are challenging times, but we will get through this together and whether we are in the building or learning from home, I know that great things will continue with our Buchanan Bears! 


Remember there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week for 
Thanksgiving Break!! 

PTA POINTS

  • PTA Meeting: Thank you to everyone who joined our November meeting on Thursday! We were happy to see so many staff members, as well as a couple new faces. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 7:00pm.
  • PTA Membership: Thank you to our families who have joined the PTA so far this year - we are up to 97 members! But that's still less than half of the 203 members we had last year.

Lifetouch Pictures were just sent to our school. Our plan is to send them home with the students when we return for Face to Face instruction.  If we are NOT back for Face to Face instruction the week of December 7, we will schedule a materials pick up for our families and picture packets will be included.

Livonia Virtual families may pick up picture packets at your regularly scheduled materials pick up on Thursday, December 3.
