Principal’s Message

At Burnley-Moran, we prioritize building and maintaining relationships with our students and families.  Please let us know how we can partner together to make BME a great school for all students.

History of Burnley-Moran

Built in 1954, Burnley-Moran is named for the first two women to head Charlottesville schools. Carrie Burnley was principal of the former McGuffey School for 28 years, and Sarepta Moran was principal of Venable Elementary for 21 years.

oneBME Community!

This year we will be continuing to build and grow our oneBME community.  At Burnley-Moran, our grade-level teams host monthly School-Wide Morning Meetings. Parents, family, and community members are always welcome to attend. They typically are the last Friday of the month from 8:10-8:40 a.m. We encourage students to take ownership of their learning through a student-led Back-to-School Night and student-led conferences in the spring.

We have several partnerships that support our oneBME community, including the City Schoolyard Garden and various CCS art opportunities. Our active PTO collectively supports our Bobcats, too, through clubs, family events, and the annual Walk-A-Thon.
