Welcome to Buchanan Elementary School for the 2020-2021 school year!
   
        
 Welcome back to a new school year.  Our school family and community may be currently experiencing some challenging times, but we will implement all necessary health and safety protocols to rise above it.  As we still find our way toward a “new normal” for school in learning, our goal remains to provide all of our students with a quality education in a safe and secure environment. 
   
          We will be ready to respond to all three phases enacted by the governor and/or school district. Phase One - Virtual learning, Phase Two - Hybrid learning model of face to face and virtual learning, and Phase Three - All students will return to school with face to face learning every day.  Virtual learning will be an option in all three phases.  If you choose face to face instruction, we will implement health and safety protocols including social distancing and face masks in an effort to reduce risk. EBR Schools will begin school on August 10th via Virtual Learning for all students until Labor Day. The district will evaluate the current situation to determine if and when we can gradually move to Hybrid learning for PreK - 2nd grades. 


            Buchanan Elementary is one of the top elementary schools in the state of Louisiana. We are a “B’” school and 2018  & 2019 Top Gains School. We pride ourselves on being a traditional and gifted and talented school with a long and rich history of providing an accelerated and rigorous curriculum. We offer Traditional Education Programs, Gifted Self-Contained Classrooms, Scholastic Academy Resource, and 3rd - 5th Accelerated PACE classes.  In addition to offering an accelerated curriculum, we nurture the whole child. We also offer strings, music, Junior Beta, Girls on the Run, Chess, and 20 clubs including robotics as well as Talented Services to identified students in Art, Theater, and Music. 

       We take pride in the programs and activities at Buchanan Elementary and in meeting the needs of all of our students. We are driven to provide optimal learning opportunities that promote the talents and strengths of all students.  Working together, we will make the best of this new year ahead of us and still find success as we always do!


Educationally Yours,
​
