We are eager to inform you that Buford Middle School will be able to offer a section of Early Morning Physical Education for 7th grader students for the 2016-2017 school year.

If you would like for your student to enroll in the Early morning PE course, please contact Mrs. Heath via email at: heaths1@charlottesvilleschools.org and let her know what additional elective (listed below) your child would like to take.

6 year plans for 7th graders

5/2/2016

As some of you may have heard from your student, 7th graders have been working on developing their 6 year academic/career plans. This is something that is required by the state for 7th graders to complete- but it is just a plan!! It is not a binding document- it's just an exercise to help them understand the course offerings that will be available to them as they finish Buford and enter the high school. For those of you who want more information, feel free to watch this video (the same video that the students have viewed) and take a look at the 6 year plan document.
