The Compass
"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - August 28, 2022
First Day of School!
The information below is for 1st-5th Grade
Arrival procedures will begin at 8:30 on Monday and at 8:40 throughout the first week of school. Opening a little earlier will help to alleviate traffic as everyone readjusts to a new routine.
We request all students begin walking independently to their classrooms for security and parking reasons. We will have staff members available to provide direction for students. If families were not able to attend Meet the Teacher, you may accompany your child to class but we ask that you do so quickly.
Talking Points
Please take a moment to download the app and follow this guideline on how to set up your account.

Open House!!
Our Open House for 1st-5th Grade will be Thursday, September 1st. Teachers will host these meetings in their rooms and will be provide details about their classrooms. Sessions will begin at 5:00pm, 5:45pm, 6:30pm.
This is an information session for parents. Students are always welcome, but please know the event will be more focused on sharing with parents how each classroom will operate and curriculum.
Carpool Procedures!
Please take a moment to learn about how our carpool operates!
Safety and Carpool
We will not call students by name. Cars without a Buckhorn Creek issued Carpool tag will be required to pull forward, show ID, and we will verify that students can be released to the person picking them up. You will need to add anyone that is allowed to pick up your child to the emergency contacts during Meet the Teacher.
Please make sure you have your carpool tag or have requested additional carpool tags before the first day of school.
Please request a new or replacement carpool tag by following this link.
Anyone that will be a walker must follow a different process that must be completed In-Person. Please do NOT complete this survey. Please come to the school during one of our Forms Days.
Kindergarten Staggered Entry
Welcome Kindergarteners!! We look forward to greeting you during your staggered entry day. Kindergarten families are welcome to park and walk their students into school. Kindergarteners will be entering the building through the end of the Kindergarten hall. We will have signs posted to assist with direction.
As a reminder, Kindergarten students will only attend one day of school during the 1st week of school.
Kindergarten teachers will contact families by the end of the day on Thursday, September 1 to welcome students to their classroom.
