BUSD strives to provide parents with information and resources that facilitate a strong partnership between home and school. We value and appreciate parent involvement. Please check with your child’s school site to find specific ways to become involved.
Chromebooks
BUSD is a 1:1 District for students in grades 1-12. Every student in grades 1-12 is provided with a Chromebook to use during their tenure as a student in the Benicia Unified School District. TK and Kindergarten students have iPads and Chromebooks to use in the classroom. Chromebooks at the elementary school will remain in the classroom, unless the teacher determines there is an assignment where the students need to take them home. Chromebooks at the other levels will be collected at certain transition grades and when students graduate.
Clever
Students access all of their learning materials through an App called, Clever. This is a one stop location for all the programs they need to use in their learning.
Google Classroom
All BUSD teachers maintain a Google Classroom where students can access and turn in work. Parents can request to be added to the Google Classroom in order to understand the work being done in school. Parent Workshops
