Prom Obligations & Guest Pass Reminder
Attention Seniors,
Just a reminder that all obligations must be cleared by both Seniors and their BASH guest by Friday March 1, 2024 at 3:00pm in order to be eligible to purchase a ticket. Please make sure you check your financial obligations (Infinite Campus, "Fees" Tab) as well as detentions (Mr. Wanish in ISS). Do not assume that you are eligible, as you will not be allowed to purchase a ticket. Obligations, both detentions and financial, roll over from year to year if they are not cleared. This is part of your responsibility as a senior to make sure that you, and your guest, are eligible to attend Prom.
Guest passes are due on March 1, 2024 at 3:00pm. A guest pass must be completed for any BASH student grades 9-11, as well as any non-BASH student. Basically, if a senior is bringing anyone other than another BASH senior, they need a guest pass form completed. Guest pass form attached below and additional copies are available in the main office.
Special thanks to our Class of 2024 Officers who created an instructional video to check for financial obligations, Click Here.
Thank you,
BASH Admin.
District Climate and Culture Survey
Earlier this week, we shared a letter regarding our 2024 Climate and Culture Survey. Since then, we have added the survey questions to our website at www.boyertownasd.org.
The parent/guardian survey opens today and will be available for completion through Friday, March 8. While not required, we encourage you to complete a separate survey for each of your children, as your responses may vary based on your children’s individual experiences. To access your survey, please visit Family Climate and Culture Survey
Please note that your child(ren) in grades 3-12 will be completing the appropriate grade-level survey in school on Friday, March 1.
BASD will use the feedback from the survey to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement and will provide invaluable insights on how we can better meet stakeholder needs. Thank you for partnering with us to meet the needs of our learners and prepare them to succeed in a changing world!
