Car Rider Procedures
We encourage 1st and 2nd-grade families (with no older siblings) to arrive early. Our younger students are usually in the loading zones by 2:55 older students by 3:00. Parents need to arrive 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 Intersection (3 way stop) or Menotti entrance
Review the Map Below
This route helps to ensure the safety of our school community. It also helps to show respect for our neighbors by not blocking driveways on George St. or the intersections.
There are many parents following the correct procedures and patiently waiting, only to be cut off by someone coming from the wrong direction. Because these are city streets, we have limited choices. We just ask that you show kindness and respect by following the map below.

Kaleidoscope-Now Accepting Applications
Kaleidoscope registration for in-person students is now available!
Cost- $85/week
At this time there is no drop in or daily rates available. Students will be charged weekly rate regardless of the amount of days they attend.
Space is very limited- please email Ms. Frazier at latoya_frazier@charleston.k12.sc.us or call 843-518-7955 for registration information and all questions or concerns.
Please do not park in the carpool lane during morning or afternoon dismissal. This area is reserved for the safe unloading and loading of our students.
Students not in class by 8:00 a.m. are marked tardy. We are giving grace the first two weeks of school.
For the safety of our students and staff please yield to students entering and exiting their vehicle opposite of the curb during carpool. We ask that drivers please remain in your vehicle and allow staff on duty to assist your student as a courtesy to others.
If your student needs help with car seats and seat belts, after loading, please drive all the way up to assist them. We encourage you to teach students to independently perform these tasks.
A Magical Year at Buist Academy!
