First day of school for grades 1 - 12: Monday, August 21, 2017
First day of school for kindergarten: Wednesday, August 23, 2017
Welcome to the New School Year!
We are so excited to start the new school year! We have a couple of different procedures this year, so I hope this helps with the changes:)
Class Lists - Class lists will not be posted this year. You must update your information in Registration Gateway by August 16th and provide a current email. You will then get an email around 3:00 p.m. on August 17th with your child’s homeroom teacher. If you have any difficulty please contact the Primary School office. We are doing this with the best interest of your child in mind and are trying to keep student information as confidential as possible.
Car Rider Placards: If your child is going to be a car rider consistently this year, please call the office prior to the first day of school. Please tell the staff your child’s name and the number of placards you will need. We will send them home with your child on the first day of school. You still pick up you child on the first day of school.
Buckeye Primary Open House - September 7th, 2017 There will be two presentations that evening, Parents with children with names A - M at 6:00 - 6:45; and
N - Z 6:45 - 7:30. Our goal is for teachers to be able to spend some quality time with you at the beginning the year to share what your child year will look like. We realize that this is very different, and we truly appreciate all of your concerns. Change can be difficult, but just a couple of things to consider....
- As far as children knowing where to go, they come into the building in a completely different way when they come off the buses then when they enter the building at open house.
- All of our staff is on duty outside and we dismiss from the busses one grade at a time for our younger students. We get every child where they need to be:)
- We have significantly cut our supply lists so the students shouldn't have too much stuff:) If it is too cumbersome please send it a little at a time over the first few days.
We are excited for a wonderful start to the school year and please let us know if we can assist you or your child in any way!

If you registered your Kindergarten student prior to the end of the 2016-17 school year, summer mailings with your student's AM/PM assignment and orientation date and time have been sent. If you registered them after the end of the school year, you will not receive your student's AM/PM assignment or orientation dates and times until the office returns August 7th.
Kindergarten registration is available for any student who will be 5 years of age (or older) by August 1, 2017.
