Happy October Buljan Families!  The student planners are here and we are excited to get them out to all of our students.  Being an AVID Demonstration Site, it is important that all of our students have access to a planner.  Organization is a big part of being a successful student. Similar to the required PE clothes,  a student planner is a required student tool here at Buljan Middle School .  We offer a planner for the price of $6.00.  This planner is preferred because it also contains our PARENT/GUARDIAN-STUDENT HANDBOOK.  The handbook contains information all parents and students should know about Buljan. However, if your student doesn't dig the student planner, that's OK.  Any academic planner will do!   So, whether you want to spend $6.00 on an awesome and  custom  Buljan planner, OR you wish to buy your own, it's all good.   In closing, please confirm that your student has access to a student planner as soon...
