APPRECIATION POST!!
Big shoutout to our bus drivers who were able to come in at a moments notice to get students home safely today!
…Our secretaries and principals for jumping into action quickly, answering calls and helping students/parents get the information they needed regarding the early dismissal.
…Our cooks for getting all students fed before they were dismissed!
…Our maintenance/custodial staff for cleaning parking lots and sidewalks to keep everyone safe!
…And to our teachers and aides for helping direct kids and calling parents at the end of the day!
Unexpected early dismissals for circumstances beyond our control truly takes a team effort and everyone at BUSD stepped up at the end of the day to make it as smooth as possibly!
We are thankful for each and everyone one of you! If you see a BUSD faculty/staff member, be sure to thank them for their efforts!
Mr. Cross
Superintendent
