A Message from Our Superintendent

Dear BUSD Families, 

As we approach graduation and promotion season, I would like to extend my appreciation to our students for their continued work and attendance this school year. Our Three-Year Strategic Plan aims to achieve 80% of our students reaching a minimum of 70% mastery and a minimum attendance of 90% or higher.

As we review our data for this year, we want to celebrate all the students that have achieved this goal and continue to encourage the rest of our students to engage in the learning so that our mastery increases as a learning community. 

Next, I want to celebrate our families for joining our school events, monitoring our students' learning in ParentVUE, and most importantly for sending your children to school. More than four absences per quarter requires a lot of catching up for the students, but it is also considered chronic absenteeism.

To our BUSD staff, thank you for your hard work and commitment to our students, the team, and the community. Whether you drive from Tucson daily or you live here on the Nation, thank you for choosing our district and our students. 

Let’s finish the year strong and with pride, especially our seniors and students being promoted to the next academic level. 

Be Brave, Be Bold, Be BUSD!

Kind Regards, 

Ruben Diaz

Mr. Ruben Diaz
BUSD Superintendent
