📚💚💛 EVERY DAY COUNTS FOR EVERY KNIGHT! 💛💚📚

We’re excited to kick off a new school year and encourage our Buckingham Knights to SHOW UP, BE READY TO LEARN, and MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT! ⚔️

📅 Attendance Tracker: August–May
📝 Parent Notes: Families may submit 5 parent notes per semester — 10 total for the school year.
🎯 Goal: Perfect attendance every day!

⭐ Why attendance matters:
• Good attendance helps students learn, grow, and succeed.
• Missing 18 or more days, excused or unexcused, is considered chronic absenteeism.
• Every day at school is an opportunity to learn something new!

Let’s work together to make attendance a priority and have a successful school year! 💚💛

Buckingham Knights — Show Up, Ready to Learn! ⚔️📚

Buckingham County Public Schools extends a special thank you to James River Equipment and the American Heart Association for their generous donation of two CPR training kits for our secondary schools!

These kits will provide our students with valuable hands-on opportunities to learn lifesaving CPR skills, increase their knowledge, and build our schools’ capacity to respond in an emergency.

We are grateful for community partners who invest in our students and help us build safer, stronger schools. 💚💛

Thank you for supporting our students and helping prepare them with skills that can truly save a life!
