About Buhl Elementary

It is very important that your child is at school each day. The bell will ring for all students to go to class at 7:50. Class begins at 8:00 AM and ends at 2:42 PM. Your child is tardy after 7:58 and must be signed in at the office.

Attendance is essential in your child’s education. Please make being on time and staying all day as a top priority!

Children arriving at school before 7:30 AM will be considered part of the Early Morning Program. This program starts at 6:40 AM and lasts until 7:30 AM. The cost is $2.00 per day.

The buses unload at the front of the school, car riders at the back of the school. Drop off and pick up locations for Pre-k will be at the front of the school. Please do not pull up to drop students off until after 7:45. The busses will be unloading from 7:30-7:45. Please, unless your child participates in the Early Morning Program, do not allow your child to come in the front door until 7:30. This is a safety issue. All students go immediately to the cafeteria if they have not eaten breakfast or to the gym for our walking program. Breakfast begins at 7:30 and the children are dismissed to their classrooms at 7:50.

Dismissal Times:

• Bus Riders: 2:38 PM
• Car Riders: 2:40 PM
• Extended Day: 2:42 PM

Please make sure your child and his/her teacher knows how to get home each day. Students will go home based on the information provided on the registration form. If your child needs to go home in a way different from his/her normal routine, we must have a note. We cannot accept telephone calls to make changes to normal afternoon routine. A note or fax must be given to the school. This is a safety issue.

If your child plans to go home with another student, both parents please send a note home informing the teachers of the change in routine.

About The Radiology Clinic

Commitment to Quality, Convenience, Privacy and Service

Dr. William D. Anderson founded the Radiology Clinic in the early 1940's. One of the state's first radiology specialists, Dr. Anderson recognized the vital role of radiology in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Over the years the clinic's mission has remained the same : to make quality images of the body that help the radiologist and the patient's physician effectively diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions.

A team of board certified radiologists and technologists use the latest in diagnostic techniques to make precise and detailed images. Today's advanced procedures allow physicians to detect medical problems, often in the very early stages when treatment is most effective.

Easily accessible from McFarland Boulevard, The Radiology Clinic is located just north of the Black Warrior River at 208 McFarland Circle, North. Ample free parking provides easy access to the Clinic.

At The Radiology Clinic caring and timely patient service is our top concern. Reports and/or images are delivered to the patient's physician office, in most cases, the following business day after the tests are completed. Should test results warrant immediate action, the personal physician is contacted at once.

The Radiology Clinic's caring staff recognizes that unfamiliarity with diagnostic testing can cause apprehension and uneasiness. Technologists take the time to explain exactly what the patient can expect during a test. A service representative is always available to assist patients with any questions or concerns.
