💛 Happy School Social Work Week! 💛 March 1–7, 2026 This week, we proudly celebrate our incredible School Social Worker, Britney Richardson! Britney plays a vital role in supporting the academic, social, and emotional well-being of our students. Whether she is providing direct support to students, partnering with families, connecting individuals to community resources, or collaborating with staff, Britney leads with compassion, professionalism, and a heart for service. Her work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt throughout our entire school community. She helps remove barriers, builds strong relationships, and ensures that every student has the support they need to succeed. Thank you, Britney, for the care, advocacy, and dedication you show our students and families each and every day. We are so grateful for you! 💙 #SchoolSocialWorkWeek #UniteToIgnite

Our 3rd graders had an amazing time at the Paramount Theatre watching The Wind in the Willows! 🎭✨ After reading and exploring the story earlier this year in our Amplify curriculum, it was so exciting to see the story come to life on stage. The performance was fun, engaging, and full of energy—and our students loved diving even deeper into a story they already knew and enjoyed. Everyone had a fantastic time! 💛📚

Buckingham County Public Schools is currently exploring the possible unification of Buckingham Primary School and Buckingham Elementary School into one unified K-5 school at the Carter G. Woodson Complex.

We are asking for feedback from our families and community members to help inform future planning and decision-making. Your voice is an important part of this process as we consider benefits and concerns.
