Dear Buchanan Families,  

As we head into the Teacher’s Convention and the Family Day long weekend, I would like to again express my gratitude to all of you for being such a wonderful school community.  

I would also like to remind you that tonight is Buchanan’s School Council Meeting. You can join us in person at the school or online. Hope to see you at 6:30 p.m. tonight!  

What is a School Development Plan?  

A School Development Plan (SDP) is guide that helps our school improve and grow. It includes goals for the school based on data. It also includes a plan to track progress, and the actions the school will take to meet our goals. Buchanan’s Goal: Student Achievement in Literacy will Improve. This includes working with students to become stronger writers and working with teachers to ensure student identity and culture are part of the classroom.
