BCPS Families, There has been some confusion about accessing the student report cards through the Parent Portal. As previously stated, to view a PDF copy of the report card, you must log in to the Parent Portal from a web browser on a computer. You may access the Parent Portal Login screen via the BCPS district website, https://www.bcpschools.org/. Choose the Parent Resources tab at the top of the page and then select the Parent Portal Login link on the Parents page. This will take you directly to the Parent Portal Sign-In Page. If you are experiencing any difficulty accessing Parent Portal or would like assistance setting up your account, please contact Candice Dowse at cdowse@bcpschools.org. Thank you!
Good evening BCPS Families,
Student report cards will be available tomorrow, Friday, October 17.
Families can view student grades at any time in the PowerSchool app. However, to view a PDF copy of the report card, you must log in to the Parent Portal from a web browser on a computer.
If you would like a printed copy of your child’s report card, please contact your child’s school to request one.
If you are experiencing any difficulty accessing Parent Portal or would like assistance setting up your account, please contact Candice Dowse at cdowse@bcpschools.org. Thank you!
This is a reminder, tomorrow, Friday, October 10, 2025, Buckingham County Public Schools will dismiss students at 12:30 PM for a half-day teacher workday. Schools will be closed for all students and staff on Monday, October 13, 2025, in observance of the Columbus Day holiday.
Congratulations to our October Senior of the Month, Braedon Goolsby!
Celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week, October 6–10, 2025.
October is National Farm to School Month, a time to celebrate nationwide connections between schools, early care and adult centers, and local farms! Virginians celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week during the first full week of October to kick off the month.
Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care settings. Agriculture is Virginia's largest private industry, and supporting local farms increases employment opportunities and community food security while providing the freshest food for all learners.
During Virginia Farm to School Week, the "Crunch Heard' Round the Commonwealth" will make some noise for Virginia farm to school programs on Thursday, October 9. Students, families, schools, farms, education centers, and community members can learn how to build upon farm-to-school programming in their communities by visiting the Virginia Department of Education, Office of School and Community Nutrition Programs Farm to School webpage.
Happy National Principals Month! Please join us in thanking our BCPS school principals for their tireless devotion to our students, staff, and families. You are appreciated!

🎉 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!

A welcome message from Chasity Steger, Dean of Students, Carter G. Woodson Education Complex:
I’m Chasity Steger, and it’s truly an honor to introduce myself as the new Dean of Students at the Carter G. Woodson Education Complex.
This division and this community mean the world to me. I’m a proud third-generation graduate of Buckingham County Schools, and I’ve spent my entire life rooted in this place, from walking the halls as a student to now walking them as an educator and leader. After earning my degree in Elementary Education from Longwood University in 2014, I returned home. Since then, I’ve taught both 3rd and 4th grade, and for the past few years, I’ve served as a Math Interventionist, all right here at BES.
Over the years, I’ve continued to grow as an educator, completing my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction in 2023 and my Educational Leadership endorsement in 2025. But even as I’ve pursued new goals, my heart has never left Buckingham. My husband and our children also graduated from here.
Outside of school, I’m a wife and a proud stepmom to three amazing kids. I love spending time with my family (including my four dogs and one cat), reading, and getting lost in music, which helps to keep me grounded and inspired.
This new role is more than a job to me; it’s a calling. I care deeply about our students, our staff, and our families, and I’m committed to helping every child feel seen, supported, and encouraged to succeed. I’m looking forward to building strong relationships and working together to make this year one of growth, joy, and connection. It brings me so much joy to now serve the very community that raised me and continues to raise my family.
Thank you for welcoming me into this new chapter. I can’t wait to get started!
