Dear BUSD Families,

We are writing with an update on our new Student Information System, Aeries. We are migrating from Powerschool to Aeries for the 2021-2022 school year and beyond.

Aeries is the most widely-used platform in Solano County.

How will this affect you:

  • Online Registration will happen virtually in August
    • BUSD will email out communication when it is ready with steps to register via ParentSquare, the new communication software BUSD will be using with the new school year.
  • Next year instead of accessing courses/classes and grades through PowerSchool, you will use the Aeries app, available in the App Store for iOS or Play Store for Android or via a browser on a website that BUSD will provide.
    • BUSD will provide information on how to access these once we transfer

BUSD is looking forward to this change to our new system and more reliable communication methods.

In partnership,
BUSD IT and Educational Services
