Dear Parents, Staff and Community:
This month we would like to bring attention to the importance of early learning, and the long-term benefits of nurturing the minds of the youngest members of our families and communities. Studies show that children who enroll in preschool develop stronger social skills, perform better in elementary school, and have less of a need for special education as a result of early intervention.
We invite you to learn more about our early learning programs in this newsletter, and to promote enrollment at our BUSD schools. Our online registration is now available
here
.
Interested families can also attend one of our In-Person Early Registration Nights on the following dates at the District Office from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

We all know how difficult it can be some times to have our students eat a healthy breakfast before arriving to school. It is what every parent works hard to do, but isn’t always possible when kids just aren’t hungry.
Our Second Chance Breakfast pilot program, currently being offered at all of our elementary schools, provides students a second opportunity to enjoy a healthy breakfast or snack, if their appetites arrive a little later in the morning. Breakfast is served on or near the playground during the mid-morning recess.
This program is free for students who quality for free meals. It is $.30 for students who qualify for a reduced price and $2.00 at full price.
Please encourage your student to take advantage of our Second Chance Breakfast. We will be evaluating the demand for this program in the coming months. For more information visit us
