Superintendent's Message
Dear BUSD Families,
I hope you are all doing well as we enter into March and the beginning of Spring.
On behalf of the Board and myself, we wanted to give a very big thank you to all of our Teachers of the Year.
Julie Clarke from Discovery Bay Elementary
Sandi Worrell from Excelsior Middle School
Bernadette Geer from Timber Point Elementary
Please help me in giving them a round of applause for their handwork and dedication to our students.
As we enter into this season of new beginnings, I wish all of you a wonderful Spring break and hope that you take time over the break to spend time with your families and rejuvenate yourselves.
With BUSD pride,
Reyes Gauna, Ed.D., Superintendent

CHOOSE LOVE MOVEMENT
The Choose Love Formula™ is based on the profound result of practicing the character values inherent in “Nurturing Healing Love,” which are:
Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion in Action.
These four character values are easy to learn. When practiced, they strengthen the health and resilience of individuals, improve the community and culture of groups and promote a safer, more peaceful and loving world.
The benefits of teaching SEL in schools are significant; the addition of neuroscience, positive psychology and character education delivered by the no cost Choose Love For Schools™ program has a positive impact in overall school culture and the students’ and educators’ and school staffs’ lives outside of school, too.
