Winter Wonderland

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! As much as I complain about the cold temperatures, I do love seeing the snow and experiencing the beautiful Michigan winters. Please remember that if the temperature is above 15 degrees, we do go outside for a short recess every day. Students need to have snow gear that includes boots, winter coats, snow pants, hats and gloves. If you need assistance obtaining winter gear, please reach out to us in the office and we will be happy to assist. We want ALL of our students to enjoy the winter wonderland!

80's

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This week we celebrated the 80th day of school and as always, our 2nd grade team had a totally RAD time by dressing up in retro style! Sadly, I have discovered that all I need to do for 80's day now is to reach into my own closet! :) We are so happy to have our students back for in person instruction and I'm very proud of our Livonia Virtual team for keeping the high quality and consistent instruction that our online learners need.  Great things are happening at Buchanan! 

Picture Retake/Makeup Day is scheduled for Friday, February 12, 2021 from 9:15 AM - 11:00  AM for students who missed picture day or would like to have their picture retaken.

Serving Others

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! As we prepare for Martin Luther King Jr. Day next week, I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes from him "Everybody can be great...because anyone can serve." What a great reminder that our true purpose is to help and serve one another. That's what I love most about teachers, they dedicate their lives to serving our students and helping to make their dreams come true. I hope you enjoy the long weekend as we observe the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday and I look forward to seeing the students when classes resume on Tuesday!

SCHOOL ARRIVAL

Please remember that the school doors do not open until 8:55 AM. Students should remain in the car with parents until that time. When the doors open, students will be guided to their classrooms. We are trying to prevent student congregating outside and eliminating line ups of students. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our students safe! 

Return to Face to Face

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! I'm excited to have our Face to Face students return on Monday, January 11. Please see the video that was shared earlier this week regarding our schedule and procedures and also the notes highlighting our return to in person instruction protocols.

Arrival & Dismissal: School begins at 9:10 AM and students may not enter the building before 8:55 AM. Beginning at 8:55, parents may drop students off using our curbside drop off in front of the gym or you may park and walk your child to the building, but not into the building. We will have a “soft start”, meaning students may enter the building when they arrive and go directly to the room (no line ups outside). Staff members will be at all entrances to assist students to get to their classrooms. 

School dismisses at 3:25 PM and students getting picked up will be dismissed from the classroom exterior door (please see note from your teacher regarding your classroom number). Those riding the bus will be called to their exits when their busses arrive.  Again, staff will help supervise student dismissal. 

Lunch, Snacks & Recess: All Kindergarten, 2nd grade and 4th grade students will eat lunch from 12:00-12:35 and 1st and 3rd will have lunch from 12:35-1:10.  Kindergarten will eat in the cafeteria and all other grades will eat in their classroom at their desks. Students will still have snacks each morning at their desks and all students are encouraged to bring water bottles as the drinking fountains are closed down. Students will have a short recess each day with their classroom each day along with opportunities for outdoor mask breaks. Masks are not required outside. 

Safety Protocols: Masks will be required for all students and staff while inside the building. No large gatherings will take place and students will be spaced out in class and in hallways at all times. Visitors and Volunteers will not be allowed in the school building and parents picking up early or dropping items off, must remain in the secure vestibule while students are called down and items will be taken down to the classroom by staff. 

All students and families should utilize the screener that the district recently sent out each morning to check for Covid Symptoms. Students exhibiting symptoms at school will be assessed in a wellness room and parents will be called if necessary to pick up their child.

I know that we can do this successfully, because we have already done it successfully and will do so again! Thanks for your continued support and great things are happening at Buchanan!

Comfort & Joy

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! I always struggle each year with what to get for the staff for the holidays. They do SO much that nothing seems adequate to show my appreciation for all they do. This year, it was a simple gift with a heartfelt wish to spread Comfort & Joy to this incredible team. COMFORT in the form of a mug and hot chocolate and JOY in the form of an inspiration poem or quote about joy. I would also like to wish all our Buchanan families the same Comfort & Joy this holiday season! I look forward to working with everyone when we return in January! 

MATERIALS PICK UP!! 

When instruction begins in January, our teachers will be providing another opportunity for families to pick up important instructional materials for remote learning. You should have received information from your child's teacher about material pick up, but if not please contact them for your pick up schedule. 

The Livonia Virtual pick up will still be on the first Friday of the month (Jan 8) in the gym from 3:00-4:00 PM. 

• All families who put in for a change of placement (In Person to Virtual or Virtual to In Person) will be contacted the week of January 4 and given their new classroom assignments.

• All new assignments will go into effect on Monday, January 11.

• We are planning on returning to In Person instruction on Monday, January 11. A confirmation note will be sent out from the district on Thursday, January 7.

Conferences

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This week we held Parent/Teacher Conferences and it was a great way to build and strengthen partnerships between the home and school. Research shows that the more communication there is between the teacher and parents, the better children succeed. Conferences are one of the most important ways to build that collaboration. Together we are better! 

In an effort to help up make the Parent/Teacher Conference experience the best it can be, please take a moment to fill out this brief survey on conferences: Parent Survey  Thanks for helping us improve!

It's Cool to be Kind!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This month, we are focusing on the theme of Kindness. All of our character traits are important, but this one is so central to what we try to teach at Buchanan. I'm proud when I see the academic success of our students, but I'm even prouder when I see our students treating one another with respect and kindness. This time of year it's easy to share kindness through gift giving and donations, but it's important to keep that spirit of kindness active all year long. I want our students to know that it's always "Cool to be Kind"!

UPCOMING EVENTS AT BUCHANAN

The LV materials pick up was held on Thursday, December 3. The Face to Face students who are working remotely will be able to pick up curriculum materials on Monday, December 7 or Tuesday, December 8 from 3-4 PM. Please check with your child's teacher if you are not sure what day your classroom material pick up is being held!

Report Cards will be available on Parent Connect the afternoon of Wednesday, December 9 for parents to view prior to conferences. We will not be mailing out hard copies. Teachers will review report cards along with student progress during your scheduled Parent Teacher Conference. 

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held the evening of Wednesday, December 9 and the afternoon & evening of Thursday, December 10. Please check with your child's teacher if you haven't scheduled a conference time yet. 

Students will have half days on Thursday, December 10 & Friday, December 11. That means they will only have 2 live sessions those days. Grades K,2 &4 may adjust their noon session to a different time and they will inform families if a time change is made.
