It’s that time of year when we start planning for our annual Prekindergarten Screening and Open House.  This event will be held later this year due to the need to plan around COVID health and safety guidelines.  We anticipate Prekindergarten Screening and Open House will take place for both Barre City and Barre Town Prekindergarten programs in May.  The date will be announced as it is finalized.

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.

The Barre UUSD Board interviewed both Superintendent finalists on April 7, 2020.  Following the interviews, the Board reviewed all the available data from forums, reference checks, and other sources before deliberating.  An offer was made to David Wells, and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted the position.  Please join us in welcoming David Wells as the new Superintendent of the Barre Unified Union School District!
