Buckingham County Middle School

Good evening. Our mass notification vendor is currently experiencing delays in sending out the phone calls, text messages, and emails for the two-hour delay. Their support team is currently working on it with no ETA for a resolution. This may result in these notifications going out at unusual times when the issue is fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Good evening! Due to extreme cold temperatures and wind chills in the morning, BCPS will operate on a 2-HOUR DELAY tomorrow (Monday, December 15, 2025) for all students and staff. This is a reminder that breakfast is not served on days with a delayed opening. We hope everyone stays safe and warm!

BCPS Families,
This message serves as a reminder of the upcoming schedule before and during winter break. On Tuesday, December 16th, and Wednesday, December 17th, there will be early dismissal at 12:30 PM. Starting on Thursday, December 18th, schools will be closed for winter break. Schools will be closed for winter break until Monday, January 5th, when teachers will return for a workday. All students and staff will return to a regular schedule on Tuesday, January 6th. We wish everyone a safe and happy winter break!

On Monday, November 24th, FFA members from Buckingham Senior & Buckingham Middle Chapters traveled to the Olde Dominion Agricultural Complex in Chatham to participate in the Virginia Agriculture Leaders Conference. Members participated in a workshop led by Ms. Tess Seibel, a former National FFA Vice President, that focused on developing leadership, public speaking, and advocacy skills. Members are prepared to communicate effectively as needed. Moreover, this opportunity prepared our students to participate in FFA Day at the Capitol, which was held on January 23rd in Richmond, Virginia. At this event, members had the opportunity to speak with their elected officials about the importance of supporting FFA, Agricultural Education, and the entire Agricultural Industry.
