📢 Calling all 8th-grade parents and students! 📢 Monday was an exciting day as a team of Buena students, along with Principal Young and Assistant Principal Colvin, visited JCMS to meet with 8th-grade students. After discovering all the fantastic class options available at Buena, our 8th graders had the opportunity to sign up for their desired classes for freshman year. Parents, take a moment to chat with your students about their chosen classes in StudentVue. Each student will bring home a paper copy of their options. If there are any changes needed, no worries! Your student can easily adjust their choices in StudentVue. But don't delay too long—classes are filling up rapidly for the next academic year! 📚✏️ #FutureColts #ClassSelection #ParentStudentTalks #BuenaBound
