REMINDER: When students return to campus masks will still be required for all students and staff while indoors. In addition, the mask requirement applies to all indoor school-sponsored events held on the Buckhorn High School campus. Once the positive number of cases falls below 0.5% for five (5) consecutive school days, the campus will move back to masks being optional at Level 1 of our COVID plan. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance with keeping our students and staff safe. #GoBucks

Sign Up to Round Up!
The Round Up Program was started by The Schools Foundation and Huntsville Utilities to support local public school systems. The Schools Foundation is a funding partner of Madison County Schools. The more residential and commercial locations that round up, the more funding we can receive. Estimates show that if just half of the residential Huntsville Utilities users rounded up, it would generate approximately $500,000 to support our schools! By rounding up your utility bill to the nearest dollar each month, you help invest in the future of our students!
You can easily sign up to round up online:
http://www.hsvutil.org/myhsvu…/checkbill/roundup/signup.html
It might be a penny, it might be 25 cents, it might be 99 cents, but it will be no more than $11.88 a year. It takes less than 1 minute to fill out.
Thank you for supporting one of our community partners! Go Bucks!
