7th Grade Shots -- We have about 30 of our 7th Grade students that have not submitted the paperwork for their required 7th Grade shots. Our nurse, Paige Marsh, stated that they will not be able to start school until we have documentation of the shots. You can email those to paige.marsh@k12.wv.us or fax them to BMS - 304-429-7245. Enjoy your last week of Summer!
The schedules that you are seeing on Schoology are not final. We are still working on schedule.
I know that every parent would like for their child to be in the classroom with their friends. However, that is not realistic when making a schedule or in life.
I do not accept requests to change schedules for students unless there is a documented legal reason to do so. It is not fair to grant some requests and not others.
It is a new year and there are many new and exciting experiences ahead. It is good to get out of our comfort zone and meet new people.
I am looking forward to a wonderful school year.
We are pleased to share that we are offering a new resource to support mental health and wellness. ParentGuidance.org is free to all staff, parents, and families in our district. The link to this website will be available under Quick Links as well as the About Us page.

It's almost that time! Students come back to school on Tuesday, August 20th. I have attached a supply list as well as a summarized calendar of events for this school year. We are looking forward to seeing all of our students in a month!
We are happy to announce that we will be having 6th grade orientation on Thursday, August 8th. Students are invited to orientation during the day from 9 am - 1 pm, and then parents are invited for orientation that evening at 6 pm in the gym. This is a great opportunity for students to meet up with their friends, meet the staff, and get comfortable with the layout of the building. Then, that evening we will answer all the common questions and introduce families to our school! We are so excited to meet the Class of 2031!
If you missed the awards ceremonies this week, and you would like to pick up your students' awards and/or report cards, you can stop by the school next week from 9 AM - 2 PM. The school will be closed down for the summer starting on June 17th! We will see everyone back in August. Have an amazing summer!
One of our many competitions on Tuesday during field day was a watermelon eating contest. The students had so much fun participating and watching! Thanks to Ms. Davis and Mr. Ritchie for all their hard work putting this event together. I am truly hoping this becomes an annual tradition! https://wvk12-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/lnshaw_k12_wv_us/EVyNTxI0qC9LsfEfCCaeLXoBVllm1EdfIpkilE6Yhd2Qmw?e=cDegW8&nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D
Today was the last day for the majority of the staff at Buffalo. This year has been full of learning and laughter. Our Buffalo community truly bonded, and we built a strong camaraderie between staff and students. The office staff created an end of year presentation for the staff today, and we wanted to also share it with you all! We hope everyone has a wonderfully relaxing summer. We are already looking forward to seeing everyone in the Fall!
