The month of September is nationally recognized as Suicide Prevention Month. To proactively address the issue of teen depression and suicide, the Mid-Buchanan RV School District will be implementing an evidence-based program called the Signs of Suicide Prevention Program, among other prevention resources, for students in grades 6-12. Our implementation of the SOS program will begin on September 19, 2023.
For more information and parent resources, please visit mindwise.org/parents. If you have further questions or would like to discuss your child’s participation in the program, please contact your school counselor at 816-238-1646.
We're thrilled to announce that the last two tiers of our playground are now OPEN, and our students couldn't be happier! It's time to climb, slide, and explore!

Our sixth grade students took on an exciting challenge! They worked in teams to solve a puzzle with 4 pieces, demonstrating their problem-solving skills.
In a twist of excitement, they were given a 5th piece, and tasked with figuring out how it fits into the puzzle they had already completed. 🤔🧩 This activity mirrors what happens in the world of science when researchers receive new data and need to reevaluate their hypotheses and conclusions.
