Our District News
Welcome friends and family members of BUSD #40. We appreciate your interest in the many events going on in the district. On this page, we will share all activities that take place, provide helpful information, and highlight student and school accomplishments. We will be updating our news regularly, so we invite you to visit this page often.
The 2025–2026 enrollment window is now open. Our new enrollment system in ParentVue was designed to be a friendly and fast process. We ask that all families begin enrolling students now. Our registration deadline is Friday, June 13, 2025.
BUSD needs this information to determine what changes need to be made to the bus routes, order supplies for students and staff, order food for students, determine class sizes, if we need to add teachers, or relocate, and more.
There are four ways to register:
- Visit ParentVUE
- Select "Online Registration" in the ParentVUE app
- Attend a registration event on select dates
- Stop by the front office during regular business hours
Please be proactive and help us enroll all students by the targeted date. Waiting until the last minute reduces the time we have to make the necessary preparations for our students.
Each year, over 200 school districts serving Native American students gather in Washington, D.C., to advocate for Impact Aid, a federal education program. Impact Aid reimburses school districts due to the presence of nontaxable federal property.
For the last two years, BUSD has opened the invitation to any student who is willing to seek sponsors to join us in this advocacy crusade. In D.C., district representatives and students meet with state representatives to ask them to join the Impact Aid Coalition, to increase the Impact Aid allocation, and to co-sponsor the advancement towards Impact Aid full funding.
In March 2025, BHS students, Ms. Ember Antone from Gu Achi District and Dayniesa Miguel from San Xavier District, proudly served as BUSD Ambassadors. Their voice and personal stories strengthened the message of how vital Impact Aid is for our community.
The points emphasized during our visits with representatives included how this funding pays for our transportation department, some culture teachers, counselors, classroom technology, competitive wages to attract and retain teachers, and maintain affordable housing for staff.
As the BUSD Superintendent, I was proud of Ms. Antone and Ms. Miguel for their leadership, advocacy, and determination. I would like to extend our appreciation to San Xavier District and Gu Achi District for valuing our students' leadership and advocacy development by sponsoring our students.
