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.

Community members are welcome to provide us with feedback, questions, concerns, accolades, etc.  We want to hear what our community has on their mind.  We will also use the information to improve our system.

With much appreciation,

SHS Administration

Students were recognized this morning with the Robert M. Burdett Memorial Award. Teachers nominated students in one of the following categories: Good Citizen, Unsung Hero, Exceptional Growth/Improvement, and/or Exceptional Perseverance/Resilience. This award is given quarterly and these are the students recognized for this award during the Second Quarter of the 2019-2020 school year. Congratulations!

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. Under this new law, Spaulding High School was one of the first schools in the state to complete testing.

Spaulding High School's own Bobby Booth and Michelle LaFrancis have both been nominated for National Life Group's LifeChanger of the Year award.  Please click the photo above and post a comment to show your support for Bobby and Michelle!

The sounds of hammers, the groans of book movers, the sore hands from reshelving, and the anticipation of reopening are over!  The renovation duration is complete and the library smells and looks like new.  The purpose of the renovation was to create a more modern space but to also stay true to Spaulding’s traditional values.

A huge thank you to everyone that participated and gave feedback in our first budget survey. We appreciate all of the comments and responses and will use this information as we develop our budget for next year. We continue to work to improve how we communicate and engage with our community, so please let us know if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to hearing from you again soon!
