Dear Buford School Community,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! As the principal of Buford School, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all our students, families, and staff members. Our dedicated team has been working diligently to prepare for an exciting and successful school year filled with enriching educational experiences.
Our Mission At Buford School, we are committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential as future leaders. Our mission is to provide a high-quality education that prepares students for future academic success, instills a lifelong love of learning, and ensures they are college and career-ready.
What's New This Year? We are thrilled to introduce several new initiatives and programs aimed at enhancing the learning experience for our students:
- Take-Home Computer Initiative: Students in grades 3-5 will now have the opportunity to bring computers home to support their learning and development.
- Writing Development Focus: We are placing a strong emphasis on structured writing development across all grade levels, utilizing innovative thinking maps and strategies to support English learners.
- SmartPass Implementation: To ensure student safety and supervision, we are launching SmartPass, a digital hall pass system.
- Leadership and Character Education: Continuing with the "Leader in Me" program, we will further develop leadership skills in our students through the 7 Habits framework.
- Enhanced Extracurricular Offerings: We are expanding our extracurricular programs to provide a well-rounded education and prepare students for future success.
Communication and Collaboration Effective communication and collaboration between home and school are key to our student's success. We encourage parents and guardians to stay engaged and involved in their child's education. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or our administrative team with any questions or concerns.
