SUPPLY LISTS
TRANSPORTATION: 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR
The following situations require a new transportation request form to be completed for your child:
- Your child is a preschool student moving up to kindergarten
- You have moved to a new residence (Proof of residency must be submitted to the school office or to Jill Besida at the Board Office.)
- You are new to the District
- You have made changes to your child's babysitter/daycare provider
The transportation request form must be completed by July 19, 2019 to guarantee transportation at the beginning of the school year.
ONLINE STUDENT REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
Your username is your student ID (this is the same number as your child’s lunch code, and it is available in Progress Book, and in PayForIt) & your password is your student's birthday (MM/DD/YYYY). Please make sure to include the backslashes.
SCHOOL/LUNCH FEES
School fees for grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade are $50.00. You may send this in with your child or pay online via "PayForIt.net". If you pay with a check, please make it payable to "Buckeye Primary School".
Lunch cost is $3.00; milk is $0.45.
IMPORTANT CAR RIDER INFORMATION:
If you plan on picking your child up after school, please send a note in with your child so their teacher and office staff are aware. The car rider placard's purpose is to help our staff identify which car the child is to get into - we still need to receive communication from you that your child will be picked up. If you are picking your child up on a permanent basis, we will accept a note covering the entire school year or a specific time period.
REMINDER TO PARENTS AND VISITORS:
Per Board policy, photos of students within the classroom are not to be taken without the permission of the teacher. In addition to this policy, we request that photos not be published on any social media website.
Reporting your child's absence
Absences for students in the Primary Building can be reported by calling 330-722-8257 ext. 9203. If your child is sick or has an appointment, we ask that you call to report this by 9:30 AM.
