Students,
Did you know that you can earn a half credit for each of your classes each semester? The way to earn your credit is to earn at least 60% for the semester in each of your classes. You do that when Q1 + Q2 average to at least 60%. The credits you earn each semester all add up to help you meet your requirements to graduate. Please contact School Counselor, Ms Asaro, to discuss your individual graduation progress, but meanwhile, refer to the information below to help you set goals for the remainder of Quarter 2:
Feel free to email School Counselor, Maria Asaro (masaro@busd.k12.az.us) or stop in to get help with setting goals!
Students,
Did you know that you can earn credit for the year even if you fail one semester? Here's how: S1 + S2 grades average together to give you a Y1 grade. If you pass Y1 with at least a 60%, you can earn credit for the year even if you failed one of the semesters.
To set a goal for yourself for S2 if your FAILED a class (below 60%) in S1, create the following equations: Take the grade you want (60) and multiply by 2 (120); then, subtract the grade you earned for S1 (for example, 48%); my equations would be as follows: 60 X 2=120 AND 120-48=72. This means I would need to earn a 72% in S2 in order to earn a 60% for the year.
These equations can work regardless of what you earned in S1 (as long as it is above 20%). If you already passed a class (let's say you earned an 83% in S1), but want to raise your grade (let's say to a 90%), complete these 2 equations: Take what you want (90), multiply by 2 (180); then subtract what you earned in S1 (83); your equations would be as follows: 90X2=180 AND 180-83=97. So, your goal for S2 would be 97%!
Feel free to email School Counselor, Maria Asaro (masaro@busd.k12.az.us) or stop in to get help with setting goals!

Schedule Changes:
Please note that the schedule change period has closed.
If you have concerns about your schild’s schedule at this time, please conact School Counselor, Maria Asaro at masaro@busd.k12.az.us
A great deal of care and effort has gone into creating schedules based on student requests and needs. Class sizes have also been balanced in the interest of health and safety. It is possible that not all of your requests were able to be met, though hopefully you were scheduled in those classes that are required, and also those are most important to you.
If, after looking at your schedule, you see a mistake (missing a core class, like Math, English, Science or Social Studies), or if there is something you wish to change, please use the Google Form below to request a schedule change:
Schedule Change Request Form:
Please complete this form WITH YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN as soon as possible if you wish to request a schedule change (deadline 8/24/2020)
EMAIL and Google Classrooms:
All students are assigned a school email address, which you will need to check everyday for your assignments in Google Classroom. Here’s how:
First, go to Gmail.com
Next, enter your school email address which generally follows this pattern:
firstname.lastname@busd.k12.az.us
If you do not know your school email address or have forgotten your password, send an email to: learningsupport@busd.k12.az.us (Be sure to include your first and last name, grade level, and indicate that you wish to have your school email and/or password reset)
Your Temporary email password will be: Bisbee1234! (please make sure you reset your password to something you will remember, and/or write it someplace safe).
Google Classrooms and Attendance:
You should have received Google Classroom invitations from each of your teachers via your school email address. Please contact your teacher and/or administration/guidance counselor if you are missing invites from any of your particular classes.
Attendance will be recorded each day by your participation in Google Classroom activities/assignments and/or online presence in synchronous meetings (Meets). Please note that while 30 minutes is the minimum requirement for attendance purposes, more time may be required in particular classes and/or on particular days for lectures, presentations, class discussions, and/or assignments.
There will be several types of assignments and activities in Google Classrooms for each of your subjects:
Some assignments will be “synchronous” (all at the same time) which will require you to log into an online class “meeting” during a scheduled time (generally during your regularly scheduled class time via Google Meets or Zoom).
Some assignments will be “asynchronous” (at different times), whereby you will access and complete class assignments, which may include pre-recorded lessons, on your own (during and/or outside of class time).
School Materials: Please pick up binders, dividers, agendas, etc. from the school at the front office, Monday-Thursday from 7:00-8:00am, 12:30-1:00pm and 4:00-5:00pm.
