Parent Cafeteria Support
Meal Benefits Application
Yes, meals will still be free for all students through June 2022 but we still need you to complete a meal benefits application so our school can be eligible for this extra education funding next school year. Also, this ensures your student is covered for the first few weeks of school next year. Information about applying for Meal Benefits can be found at www.wcpss.net/meals. Help our school continue to receive this funding by completing an application online at MySchoolApps.com. Paper applications can be requested by calling 919-588-3535.
It Takes a Village - Parent Support Session.

PTA Book Fair!!
The Book Fair is coming to Buckhorn Creek Elementary the week of Feb 7 – Feb 11! All purchases at the Book Fair give back 50% of the total sales in the form of free books to the school and teachers.
Your student will preview the Book Fair to create a wish list during school. Students will be able to shop the Book Fair during the day at school and at Family Night. Students can pay with cash, check, or eWallet.
You can create a digital payment (called eWallet) by visiting our School Book Fair website below. You can create an account and add funds. The students can shop with the electronic funds at the Book Fair so you don’t have to worry about lost cash or check. Any un-used funds are returned to the family.
