Welcome to Buljan Middle School!

Dear Parents, Students, Teachers, Staff, and Community Members,

I am delighted to welcome you to George A. Buljan Middle School, where we are committed to creating a positive, nurturing, and safe learning environment for all. As the principal of this wonderful school, I am honored to work alongside such a dedicated and enthusiastic team, including our esteemed teachers, supportive parents, and of course, our exceptional students.

Our guiding beliefs form the foundation of our school’s vision and mission. We envision a collaborative space where students, staff, and the community come together to foster responsibility, integrity, and a genuine passion for learning. Our mission is to provide each student with a quality education that addresses their unique academic, emotional, and social needs, empowering them to become productive and responsible citizens.

At Buljan Middle School, we embrace initiatives that enhance the educational experience and prepare our students for success in a global society. As an AVID school, we are committed to closing the opportunity gap by holding our students accountable to the highest standards, while providing them with the necessary academic and social support to rise to the challenge.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is another crucial aspect of our school. This evidence-based framework allows us to create an inclusive and supportive environment where all students can thrive. We believe that by implementing PBIS, we create a school where every student can succeed.

Furthermore, our commitment to being a Professional Learning Community (PLC) drives us to work collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research. Our educators are continuously engaged in learning and improving their practices to achieve better outcomes for the students we serve.

As we move forward, we have set specific goals to further enhance the educational experience at Buljan Middle School. Our focus is on increasing the number of students meeting or exceeding standards in Reading and Math, as well as positively recognizing students who demonstrate our schoolwide BARK expectations – to be safe, accountable, respectful, and kind. Our WEB support program plays a vital role in providing this support and fostering a strong sense of community within our school.

Additionally, we are dedicated to supporting our English Learner students as they make strides in gaining proficiency levels each year, working toward their reclassification and greater success.

In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to all members of the Buljan Middle School community. Your unwavering support, hard work, and dedication contribute to making this school an exceptional place of learning and growth. Together, let us continue to foster an environment where every student can reach their full potential.

Here’s to a successful and rewarding academic year ahead!

Warm regards,

Greg White Principal, George A. Buljan Middle School
