Congratulations Buist Knights for an incredibly successful Kids Heart Challenge Fundraiser. The school exceeded the $10,000 initial fundraiser goal. The classes with the highest registration percentages were Ms. Bonneau, Mrs. Garrido-Rojo, Ms. Mortensen, Ms. Clawson, Mrs. Biggs, and Ms. Williams. The class with the highest dollar total was Ms. Clawson's class. First-grade student, Liam Boucher was our top student earner!

We are proud of all our students who donated and registered for this event! Thank you to Mrs. Tisdale and Ms. Jemison for leading the way. Thanks to all our heart heroes!

Please do not park in the carpool lane during morning arrival or afternoon dismissal. This area is reserved for the safe unloading and loading of our students.

All car riders should use Anson Street for arrival and dismissal. Bus and bike riders should use Calhoun Street (Dogwood Alley).

Students not in class by 8:00 a.m. are marked tardy.

For the safety of our students and staff please yield to students entering and exiting their vehicle opposite of the curb during carpool. We ask that drivers please remain in your vehicle and allow staff on duty to assist your student as a courtesy to others.

If your student needs help with car seats and seat belts, after loading, please drive all the way up to assist them. We encourage you to teach students to independently perform these tasks.
