E-Learning Day- Vaccination
Buist Academy's e-Learning day to allow for our faculty and staff to receive the COVID-19 vaccination is Thursday, April 22. This will replace the April 30 district scheduled e-learning day on the CCSD calendar. We understand that you may have to adjust your schedules to accommodate this effort, but this major step will help make our schools much safer during this pandemic.
Thank you for everything you have done throughout this year to support our school community!
In-Person Return
There is available seating in all grade levels for any remote student to return to in-person learning. Please contact Ms. Looney (karrie_looney@charleston.k12.sc.us) if you are interested in having your student return in-person for the 4th quarter.

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.
