Today, we held our House Assembly, where we officially inducted our new students into their houses! Students showed off their house spirit and competed in high-energy relay games.
To wrap up the fun, our top fundraisers from the Joe Corbi’s fundraiser got the ultimate reward: closing out the assembly by sliming our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Miller! ✨
A huge thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser and helped make today so memorable! Additional photos are available at https://facebook.com/buckinghamelementary

Halloween Happening Reminders for the End of the Week!
Hello Parents,
We have encountered a lot of questions about if we will be holding a daytime costume parade. Please note that we will NOT be holding our traditional daytime Costume Parade this year. With Halloween falling on the weekend and future limited outdoor space due to school construction beginning this spring, we have made the decision to transition away from the daytime parade.
Instead, we encourage parents and students to attend our evening parent involvement event: Math Trails and Campfire Tales + Trunk or Treat on Thursday evening from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM!
• Pre-registration for Thursday evening is highly recommended! You can pre-register here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/HNJG7YybtK
Red Ribbon Week & Dress-Up Reminders for Thursday
• K–4th Grade: Students are invited to wear Halloween costumes or bring their costumes to school (leave the props at home). Fall, orange, or Halloween-themed clothing is a great, easy-to-wear alternative to ensure costumes stay in top trick-or-treat condition for the weekend!
• PreK 3 & 4: Students may wear skeleton or Halloween-themed clothing/shirts to help make managing restrooms easier for students throughout their day.
Friday is House Colors Day! Wear your house colors or BES gear to show your school spirit!

Good evening families! Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Lynch from the Judy Center and Mrs. Chaffee, Community School Liaison, will be popping up at Henry Park, tomorrow October 21st from 4-4:45 pm. Stop by for a slice of pizza, chips, juice, and a water on your way home. We can’t wait to see you!
Good Attendance Builds Strong Habits!
Showing up to school every day helps students build routines, stay connected, and succeed academically! We encourage families to check out this helpful resource from Attendance Works: "Help Your Child Do Well in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance."
Understanding Attendance:
🟢 0–9 days absent: Good Standing
🟡 10–17 days absent: At Risk
🔴 18+ days absent: Chronically Absent
Important Attendance Reminders:
Families may submit up to 10 parent notes per school year to excuse absences.
Please submit doctor's notes as soon as possible so absences can be coded correctly.
Even excused absences count toward chronic absenteeism. Students who miss 18 or more school days are considered chronically absent, regardless of whether doctor's notes have been submitted.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected circumstances happen! Our goal is to work together with families to support consistent attendance and help every student succeed.
Every school day matters!
