🥩 The connection between our schools and community extends all the way to the lunch tray.
Through our Child Nutrition Program, Upshur County Schools recently procured 38 forty-pound cases of ground beef from Shorts Family Farm, bringing locally sourced food directly into our cafeterias. Partnerships like these support local agriculture, strengthen our local economy, and provide students with quality meals made possible by the people who call Upshur County home.

Technology doesn't replace learning. It accelerates it.
Today, BUHS students are putting powerful technology to work as they build skills that matter beyond the classroom. While many see devices as entertainment, our students are using them to create, collaborate, solve problems, and prepare for their futures.
That's the power of public education: giving every student access to the tools and opportunities needed to thrive in a modern world. 🚀💡

Professional Learning in Action: Teachers
Teaching and learning remain the heart of what we do. But to maximize learning, students must first be engaged, connected, and ready to participate.
Today, Buckhannon-Upshur High School teachers focused on strategies to increase student engagement and strengthen systems of support for students. As families and schools alike work to help young people build healthy relationships, stay connected to their communities, and engage with the world around them, educators are adapting their practices to meet students where they are while maintaining high expectations.

🚌 Bus Stop Safety Is a Shared Responsibility 🛑
Every school day, our students rely on families, bus operators, and motorists working together to ensure a safe trip to and from school. Bus stops are important places where patience and attention matter.
Drivers: When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red warning lights flashing, West Virginia law requires you to stop and remain stopped until the bus resumes motion, the driver signals you to proceed, or the warning lights are turned off.
Violating this law carries serious consequences:
⚠️ First offense: $500-$1,000 fine, possible jail time, and a 60-day license suspension.
⚠️ Second offense: $1,000-$1,500 fine, possible jail time, and a 180-day license suspension.
⚠️ Third or subsequent offense: $2,000 fine, jail time, and a one-year license suspension.
A little extra patience behind the wheel helps keep school transportation running safely and smoothly for everyone. Thank you for doing your part and stopping for the bus. 💛🚌

Attention Students in Grades 10–12!
We will be offering the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) to interested students in grades 10–12 on October 8th during the morning.
Why Take the ASVAB?
The ASVAB can help you:
Discover your strengths: Learn more about your natural abilities and areas where you may excel.
Explore career options: Identify potential career paths based on your skills and interests.
Understand your potential: The ASVAB measures your aptitude, or your ability to learn and develop new skills. Unlike the SAT or ACT, it is not primarily focused on what you have memorized for college.
Explore different fields: The test covers a variety of areas, including math, reading and language skills, mechanical concepts, electronics, and more.
Learn about military and civilian careers: Your results can help you explore career opportunities in both the military and civilian workforce.
No Military Obligation
Taking the ASVAB does NOT mean you are joining the military. You are not required to enlist because you take the test.
If you are interested in learning more about your strengths, skills, and possible career opportunities, consider signing up to take the ASVAB on October 8th!
