Superintendent's Message

Dear BOUSD Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2024-25 school year! I hope this letter finds you rested, relaxed and excited to begin a wonderful year filled with learning, growth and achievements. For those families who are new to our district, it is an honor to welcome you to BOUSD as you embark on this journey of discovery and development with us. For those of you who are returning to our district, welcome back to what I expect will be another impressive school year! It is an honor to serve as your Superintendent and I extend my warmest greetings to you as you prepare your child(ren) for the abundance of learning opportunities that lie ahead this school year.

At BOUSD, we are committed to walking this journey with you, together. Our collective vision for this school year prioritizes communication and collaboration with our families to ensure that we are meeting the needs of every student and family. Through a variety of support services and programs offered in our district, we ensure that all students have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. However, this work cannot be done alone. Parents and families play a vital role in every child’s success. As with every year, we invite our parents and families to engage with us as we plan additional services and opportunities for our students.

One of the best ways to stay engaged with us is to connect with us online. This summer, we launched ParentSquare, a new communication tool that makes home-to-school communication easier and provides quick and easy access to events, activities, and all things related to what’s happening at our school sites. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to download the ParentSquare App so that you can set up your account and start receiving notifications and information related to your child(ren). Information about ParentSquare can be found here.

As you plan for the year that lies ahead, I encourage you to set ambitious goals for your child(ren), including regular school attendance and having them actively participate in all the opportunities that come their way. By being present in the classroom, students open themselves up to a world of knowledge, engage in meaningful discussions, and build strong relationships with peers and teachers. 

We look forward to seeing all our amazing students in the classroom on Thursday, August 15

Sincerely,

Brinda C. Leon

Superintendent
