The following project is scheduled to start on Monday, February 26, 2024. We are told this will not interfere with our bus lane. Additional information will be sent as necessary. 

Dominion Energy plans to start a project related to establishing electric service to the Emanuel 9 Memorial. Calhoun St. traffic will be impacted by this project. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Calhoun St. during construction; there will be traffic control set up to taper the roadway down to two travel lanes. This work is planned to take place between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM over the course of several months.

• 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.

To verify or discuss any information that is of concern to you, contact your child's teacher, school counselor, or school administrators.

How to Help Kids Who Are Too Hard on Themselves/Cómo ayudar a los niños que son demasiado duros con ellos mismos

Volleyball- next fall?  The school volleyball season typically starts right after Labor Day and finishes mid-October. Since this is shortly after school begins, we are trying to get a jump start on organization and hopefully even some practices in this school year.   Traditionally these school teams are organized & coached by parent volunteers and run through the city of Charleston recreation department.  

The costs are approximately $40 per player to the Recreation Department and $50 per player for jerseys plus the cost of knee pads & shorts. 

This sport is open to girls & boys in 5th - 8th grades. Last year, every grade level had a girls team and the boys team was a mixture of grade levels.

We are assuming next year will follow a similar format and teams will be based on the number of students interested, the number of available coaches, and the player's ability.  Meaning if we have too many students interested (city rec. limit is 12 players/team) and too few available coaches, then we will have "try-outs".  

If your child is interested in volleyball next school year, please fill out this form.
