Welcome to the Buchanan Elementary School web site! As you browse our web site, you will find links to pages that will provide you with information about our school, the calendar and School Accountability Report Card. You will also find maps to help you locate our school. Buchanan Elementary School has almost 400 students this year. We have a staff of 22 classroom teachers, ten support teachers, and 20 support staff. No matter what the position, our positive focus is on achieving academic success for all students. This focus is, first and foremost, to provide every student with learning opportunities to ensure that each student masters Oklahoma PASS Skills, to become responsible life long learners who gain knowledge, use knowledge, and share knowledge. We will provide a rigorous academic program focused on Oklahoma PASS standards. Assessment results have shown excellent achievement and our expectation is to always continue to improve.

Also, our goals are achieved in an environment that is safe, secure, and orderly. . We believe that students will achieve to their highest potential with physical activity, nutrition education, tobacco prevention and safety education. Our staff utilizes "Schools for Healthy Lifestyles" activities integrated into our daily curriculum.  

Buchanan offers a variety of opportunities to complement the academic program. A few examples are: Headstart Pre-Kindergarten, after school tutoring, gifted education, Accelerated Reader, STAR Reader, Junior Achievement, English language learner support, resource Reading specialist services, OT, PT and speech.

We invite you to visit our school and our District web site at www.okcps.org to learn more about how we at Buchanan and the Oklahoma City School District are working to "Educate Students for Life-Long Learning and Responsible Living.
