School Culture and Expectations
Buckingham’s Code of Conduct emphasizes students’ rights to learn, be respected, be safe, and be in a clean, healthy environment. It outlines responsibilities such as arriving on time and prepared, listening attentively, treating others with kindness and understanding, behaving non-violently, resolving conflict peacefully, and cooperating and communicating politely. The school also states an expectation of empathy and a positive school climate, with appropriate consequences for conduct not aligned with the code.
Enrollment
Families register at their in-catchment school based on where the student ordinarily resides, or may apply to attend another school or district program. To establish eligibility, families must provide documentation for residency, guardianship, age, and citizenship. The school notes that applications received in February receive priority for the upcoming school year, and directs families to the district website for detailed registration guidance and placement priorities.
