Hi Families!
Did you know that missing just 2 days of school each month can add up quickly? Over the course of the school year, those absences can equal 10% of the school year—and 10% of valuable learning time.
Here’s how attendance is measured throughout the year:
• 0–9 days absent: Good Attendance Standing
• 10–17 days absent: At Risk of Becoming Chronically Absent
• 18+ days absent: Chronically Absent
We want to make coming to school something to celebrate! This year, the classes with the highest attendance percentage each month will earn a special celebration. Students in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade who demonstrate excellent attendance throughout the school year will also be invited to participate in a special end-of-year field trip!
Everyday matters, and we appreciate your partnership in helping our students be present, engaged, and ready to learn!
If you have any questions or would like additional support on getting your child/children to school daily, please contact Amanda Chaffee, Community School Liaison, at 410-632-5300 or Acchaffee@worcesterk12.org.

Every child getting on or off a school bus deserves to make it home safely.
Slow down, stay alert, and never pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing. #WeAreWorcester

Good Afternoon parents of walkers/bike riders. For dismissal, please form a line at the back gym door, ready to provide your information (ID) and child's name upon pick up. Thank you!
There’s plenty to smile about at Buckingham Elementary! A new school year means new opportunities, new memories, and so much to look forward to. #WeAreWorcester #FirstDayTour #WelcomeBackWorcester
Hi families! We are aware of notifications being sent regarding absenteeism. We are currently working to update attendance. Thank you!
The first-day excitement continues at Buckingham Elementary! ✨ It’s great to see our students and staff back together and ready for another wonderful year. #WeAreWorcester
Backpacks mean more than a new school year, they mean more children on the move.
Give yourself time to react. Slow down and watch for students near schools, bus stops, and crosswalks. #WeAreWorcester

We’re Almost Back, Buckingham Families!
It’s hard to believe that MONDAY we will all be back together at BES! We are so excited to welcome our students back and kick off a wonderful school year! As we prepare for the first day, please take a moment to review the attached maps for our morning arrival and afternoon dismissal procedures.
Car Riders: For the safety of all students, we will not dismiss car riders at the bike rack. All car riders must be picked up through the traffic loop.
