School News!
The BES Kindergarten ESOL team, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Delgado and Mrs. McCranie are very excited to begin a new school year of improving language skills at BES.

We are going to have a fabulous year of learning and fun. Kindergarten is where your child’s educational journey begins and we are thrilled to be a part of it. The ESOL team works directly with all teachers to provide high-quality instruction. We will remember to wash our hands, wear our mask and watch our distance with our friends. We are also committed to establishing a connection with our ESOL families in our school district.

We look forward to a great year!
BES will host a Virtual Curriculum Night on

Welcome Back to the 2020-2021
ESOL Year of Learning for all
1st, 2nd, and
3rd Grade Students!
We want to send out a very warm welcome to both our digital and
in-person learning community. We have missed you over the summer and can't wait to reconnect again!
We have a few important things to share for the month of August.

  • Students' READING EGGS login information will be coming home for your child's use. The kids truly enjoy learning through this app and we will be using it in ESOL class often. 
  • Your child's ESOL teacher will be reaching out to you through TalkingPoints. Please look for a text message from your child's ESOL teacher in the days ahead. We encourage you to use this app to communicate your ESOL needs with your child's teacher.
  • Don't forget that the Buford Academy website is a great place to find learning tools for your child as well.
  • ESOL classes for your child will begin on Monday, August 17th. We cannot wait to see all of our wonderful students!
