Good morning,
Buckingham County Public Schools has partnered with Conexus, a nonprofit organization, to provide free vision screenings for students in Kindergarten, 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades this school year.
If a student does not pass the initial screening, they will be eligible for a free follow-up eye exam and glasses (if needed), provided on-site at school. Families will receive copies of the exam results, and results will also be included in the student’s health record.
Parents of 7th-grade students who do not wish for their child to participate must sign the opt-out form and return it to BMS. If you have any questions, please get in touch with programs@conexusvision.org or (804) 423-2020. Students who currently see an eye doctor will need to bring their glasses to the screening.

🎉 Buckingham County Public Schools Convocation 2025 🎉
What an inspiring start to the new school year! Today, we gathered as a division to celebrate the incredible work ahead and to reaffirm our shared commitment to student success.
Dr. Reasoner energized us with her message centered on the Four Pillars that will guide our year: Communication, Collaboration, Transparency, and Teamwork. Her words set the tone for a year rooted in connection and collective impact.
We proudly introduced and recognized our new employees across the division — welcome to the BCPS family! 💛🖤
The morning brought energy and excitement with a lively round of “Let’s Make a Deal,” where teams showed their school spirit and raffle prizes added some extra fun to the day!
We were honored to have our JROTC Color Guard present the flags and thrilled to welcome a special guest appearance from Sir Knights A Lot!
This year, we are united under the theme:
“Every Knight. Every Day. The Buckingham Way.”
We are committed to excellence in all we do — together.
Here’s to a fantastic 2025–2026 school year!
