BUUSD is very excited to announce a summer program for students that is part of our Barre 35: Growing Learners & Closing Gaps plan. We have been working for months on a cooperative effort with BUUSD educators and the Greater Burlington YMCA to offer a robust summer camp for students who are currently enrolled in kindergarten up to students who are twelve years old.

BUUSD is pleased to announce that the USDA has extended our waiver to provide FREE breakfast & lunch to the children of Barre through September 30, 2021.  Previously, the waivers were set to expire on June 30, 2021.  Over the next few months, we will be releasing details on our summer food service program.  Stay tuned! 👍

The Digital Media Arts II class at the Central Vermont Career Center filmed and edited this video above where they interviewed students to hear their perspectives on Barre schools, how technology has transformed their education, and the importance of college & career readiness.  The level of quality and professionalism in their work truly showcases itself here.  Bravo students!

After being remote through the month of December, the Reopening Team at BUUSD has been routinely meeting to discuss and plan how we can maximize in-person learning while still carefully following the Strong & Healthy Start guidance from the Vermont Agency of Education.

Beginning on January 19, 2021, BUUSD intends to begin a phased transition to full in-person instruction. Click here or the image above to learn more.

Being a newly merged school district, we are beginning a multi-step process that will clearly identify the mission, vision, goals, and direction of the Barre Unified Union School District (BUUSD), and we need your help.

Our hope is that this document will serve as a guide for students, families and community members to understand what remote learning looks like for all Barre City students, grades Pre-K to 8. The BCEMS faculty and staff have been hard at work since the start of the pandemic in the spring to make remote learning engaging and meaningful for our students. We are proud of the learning experience we have in place, but we know that there will always be room for growth and improvement in these incredibly uncertain times.

The State of Vermont passed a new law in 2019 that requires all schools and child care providers to test their drinking water for lead. Barre City Elementary and Middle School participated in pilot testing in Spring 2018.  Based on those results, we received a waiver on new testing and remediated based on results from 2018.
