Dear Parents,
BUSD will continue distance learning until the end of December, 2020. Below are the details update from BUSD:
  • The district is now moving into “Phase 2” where we will focus on providing targeted in-person support to our most vulnerable students, such as those in our moderate and severe special education programs.  
  • “Phase 3” or the hybrid model will be reviewed for a potential phased start in January 2021 at the earliest, beginning with the youngest children returning for in-person instruction first.  
  • We will work closely with our employee associations to coordinate efforts.  
  • Safety planning and preparation will continue to be at the forefront as we determine next steps.
