Buist Academy Literary Magazine
Buist Academy Literary Magazine
Buist Academy is collecting student work for our Buist Academy Literary Magazine, The Inkling. We are asking that students who are interested in having their work published in this school-wide magazine to please submit a final draft of a writing or artwork by May 17. Each child that has a creative piece included will receive one free magazine and if they would like an extra copy they will be able to purchase one.
Crayon drawing and items on lined paper do not scan well, and we need the artwork to be on white paper and the writings to be submitted in word or google doc. Please submit by May 17, 2021 to any ELA teacher.

COVID Update
COVID Update
Over the past two weeks, we have seen an increase in positive COVID-19 cases at Buist Academy. We will monitor very closely the COVID-19 rates in order to identify any trends or issues that would require a change in our protocols, daily practices, or a change in student schedules.
Anyone who is symptomatic or has been exposed to COVID-19 should be kept at home. The most common symptoms include new or worsening cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and loss of taste and smell.
When a class has three or more positive cases within a two-week period that class may be required to quarantine for at least ten days. Please be aware that the health of our students and staff is a top priority. We encourage you to continue to have your student make safe choices when away from school.
Please visit the CCSD website to review the District’s COVID-19 protocols, contact tracing procedures, and the notification process.
