Buist Knights Have The R.I.T.E. STUFF
Buist Knights Have The R.I.T.E. STUFF
Respect - I am polite and kind to others, the world around me, and myself.
Integrity – I am honest in my words and actions.
Thinkers – I think about my actions and respect the diverse world around me.
Empathy- I understand the feelings of others.
Buist Families,
I hope that everyone is safe and doing well under the circumstances. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through these first few days of teacher return. Our AMAZING faculty and staff have been learning and growing through ZOOM welcome sessions and professional development.
I appreciate their resilience and dedication to our school community. Adventure awaits those who dare to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the unknown. It beckons with the promise of new experiences, thrilling challenges, and unforgettable memories. Adventure offers a unique opportunity to discover the many things we are capable of doing. Each journey, regardless of its scale, provides a chance to learn, grow, and see life.
We hope to see you at fact and fee on Friday.
Shawntay White,
Principal

Car Rider Route
Car Rider Route
Our goal is to dismiss students in a safe and timely manner. We have a number dismissal system. Please make sure your child's number is visible from the rearview mirror hang tag.
The car rider line will start to move faster after the first week or two of school. All students should be picked up by 3:20.
Please respect fellow Buist families and the surrounding community by following the correct car rider procedures.
East Bay St. to George St.
George St. to Anson St.
Do Not Block the George St. 3-way stop or the Menotti St. entrance.
Review the car rider map. Following this route helps to ensure the safety of our school community and gives respect to our neighbors by not blocking driveways on George St. or at intersections.
Walking Field Trip Permission
Walking Field Trip Permission
Our amazing downtown location allows us to explore Charleston. We would love permission to take students on a variety of walking field trips throughout the school year.
Please click the link below to learn more about walking field trips and to sign the permission slip.
Please give teachers at least 24 hours (business days M-F) to respond to phone calls or emails.
If you have questions or concerns, contact your child's teacher first.
Buist Academy does not have any official class group Facebook pages. There are several Buist Academy Facebook parent groups. While these groups can be helpful and a resource to parents, they are not officially affiliated with the school. Any information or opinions shared do not reflect the views of Buist Academy. To verify or discuss any information that is of concern to you, contact your child's teacher, school counselor, or school administrators.
CCSD does have an Official Charleston County School District Parent Facebook page. However, that page is not monitored by the school. Questions or concerns expressed on that page will be addressed through third-party contact. This route may delay response times. If you have a question or concern, please feel free to email the appropriate person at the school level.
