Royal Fun Run 20-21
The Buist Academy Foundation is making preparations for the annual Royal Fun Run. Although the event will look different this year, we plan to make it fun and engaging for our students. We still plan to have the Mystery Royal Court contest, logo design contest, and t-shirts provided by the Buist Foundation.
The event will kick off on April 28 with a virtual schoolwide pep rally. Dates are subject to change, please expect more information and details over the next few weeks.
The Buist Academy Foundation is providing Royal Fun Run t-shirts for all students to wear during the fundraising event. Please click Royal Fun Run Shirt Size Survey to provide your child's shirt size.
Complete a separate form for each child.

Kindness Week
Kindness Week
We had a successful week of focusing on kindness and encouraging random acts of kindness. We want students to recognize that simple day-to-day acts of kindness enable our schools, communities, and state to be a kinder, safer, healthier, and better place to live, work, learn and play.

Attendance Reminders
Attendance Reminders
It is extremely important for students to attend school on a regular basis. As a South Carolina public school, Buist Academy is required to follow SC laws and CCSD Board policies regarding attendance.
We are happy to work with all families through a variety of unique circumstances. However, we must maintain compliance with the South Carolina Department of Education.
Attendance information can be found in the CCSD Code of Conduct, CCSD Restart Implementation Guide, and the Buist Academy Handbook.
Quick Reminders:
All absences require a written explanation or email from the parent/guardian within three (3) school days of return from the absence.
A written explanation of absences must include the student’s name, parent/guardian’s full name, parent/guardian’s signature, date(s) of absence(s), and documentation of the reason for absence(s).
Truant: A child, at least 6 but not yet 17 years old, who has accumulated three consecutive unlawful absences or a total of five unlawful absences.
COVID-19 Accommodations:
The district will make appropriate accommodations for students who may be required to quarantine or self-isolate as a result of COVID-19 by offering remote instruction.
As long as officially quarantined students are able to participate and complete assignments, they will be counted as present. We are working on correcting any inaccurate attendance reported on recent report cards.
In-Person students who are sick (non-COVID related) or self-isolating for safety reasons will be granted an excused absence if they are able to join the class remotely or complete work packets.
