We treat each other with respect and act with integrity. Berkeley Unified School District social media platforms are intended to serve as an information source for the district and our community. The purpose of official BUSD and school social media sites is to share news and information about BUSD and school activities, events and highlights. BUSD welcomes comments and contributions to its social media sites, but please note contributions and comments will be moderated and these sites are not open public forums. All contributions and comments are at the discretion of the site monitor. The district reserves the right, but is not obligated to, remove contributions that it deems offensive, off topic, uncivil, or inappropriate. The intent of this practice is to maintain a positive and informative flow of communication while protecting the privacy and rights of our community. Contributions and comments to these sites are the opinion of the author and do not represent the district. BUSD social media sites are family-friendly and education based. We are here to support and inform our students, teachers, staff, parents and community. Berkeley Unified is responsible for educating more than 9,400 students in 11 public elementary schools, 3 middle schools, one comprehensive high school, and a continuation high school.
