Buist Academy and Charleston County School District are committed to prioritizing the health and safety of students and employees. Over the past three weeks, we have seen an increase in positive COVID cases at Buist Academy. We will monitor very closely the COVID rates in order to identify any trends or issues that would require a change in our protocols and daily practices.

Positive case information can be found on the CCSD COVID-19 Dashboard. The information included on the Dashboard applies to anyone associated with the school to include students, faculty, and staff (administration, instructional, custodial, food/nutrition).

We ask that each family consider the health and safety of our school community by taking health and safety precautions seriously at home and in the community.

For more information, please click the link below. Visit the CCSD COVID-19 website and dashboard frequently for updates.

We need your help and your diligence in keeping your child home if necessary. Thank you, in advance for your help - we will get through this together. Our goal is to create a safe learning environment for students on campus.

• If your child is sick or symptomatic of any illness, please do not send your student to school.

• If your student has tested positive, or been exposed to a COVID positive individual, please notify Buist immediately and do not send your child to school.

• If any symptomatic member of your household has had COVID in the past two weeks or is suspected of having COVID, please keep your child home and call or email the school for guidance.

• If your child is awaiting COVID test results, please do not send them to school.

Your diligence is appreciated in keeping our entire school community safe and healthy for a wonderful year.
