Email Format for Grades K-8

  • School issued chromebooks can only be used by logging in with a school email.

  • The general format of student emails is below:

Graduation year (two digits) First Three letters of the first name, first five letters of the last name @buusd.org

Kindergarten student “Jessica Smith” would be 33jessmith@buusd.org

Third grader "Johnny Teststudent" would be 30johtests@buusd.org

Fourth grader "Sarah Example" would be 29sarexamp@buusd.org

In younger grades, students should use their birthdate as their password in the following formats: mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy.

Middle school passwords are student generated

If any student gets locked out or has the "wrong password" and can't access their work, please email helpdesk@buusd.org.

Communication Tools

  • Educators will be using Google Meet/Hangouts to have virtual meetings with their students.

General Tech Tips

  • Students logging in from home devices will need to remember that they need to logout of other emails, parent accounts, sibling accounts, etc, to make sure they are able to access Google Classroom content.

  • For families using one computer for multiple students - login as a guest or use incognito mode, to keep multiple users logged in at once.
