JL Buford Intermediate Education Center believes in District 80's mission of challenging all students to see a brighter future. JL Buford supports District 80's vision of always seeking, always learning.
The JL Buford Staff works diligently every day to promote student engagement and success. We believe in a partnership with families to support their 4th and 5th grade students.
To communicate with families, JLB will utilize phone calls, emails, Parent Square, Skylerts, and our school's facebook page.
Daily attendance is extremely important for student growth. Please have your student at school each day on time. Students report to their homerooms at 8:15.
