REQUIRED: Annual Student Information Verification
If you have NOT completed your child's REQUIRED Annual Student Information Verification...we have reopened the Infinite Campus Parent Portal for Annual Student Information Verification until Friday, September 29th . The verification only needs to be completed once in a school year.
Even if none of the personal demographic/emergency contact information has changed in the past year, ASIV includes required ANNUAL sign-offs for the following:
BASD Student Handbook
Acceptable Use Policy
Fundraising Activities***
Publicity Clearances***
Medical Authorizations
***Your child will not be eligible for publicity or fundraising if you do not complete ASIV. In other words, incomplete ASIV information will be treated as a ' NO' for publicity clearance and fundraising. BASD will remove your child from photo opportunities, newsletters, etc., and they will not receive fundraising materials.
We know it seems bothersome and takes several moments of your time, but this information helps us safely and securely educate your child. Please, help us, help you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
Below are instructions on how to complete your student's ASIV from within the Parent Portal. Only parents/guardians living in the student's primary household can complete the annual verification.

Annual Constitution Day Observance
Constitution Day became a national observance in 2004, when Senator Robert Byrd passed a bill designating September 17 as the day for citizens to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution and learn more about our founding document.
This image was taken as part of Earl Elementary's Constitution Day activities on Friday, September 15, 2023.

Information and Pictures Provided by Mrs. Rothermel, BES SEAL
BES Student Advisory Team students are 5th grade students who serve as role models in our building. They help other students and set a positive atmosphere for the school. They had to apply for the SAT position, go through an interview process, and receive a teacher recommendation. They volunteer during recess to meet with teachers and work on projects to help the building. They also help students in the building, as seen in these pictures. These students signed up to spend their mornings reading to our Kindergarten and 1st-grade students. It is great to see our 5th-grade SAT students sharing their love of reading with our younger students!

We Are ALL Pieces of BASD's Big Picture!
A Quote from Mrs. Torchia's Welcome Back Letter to Faculty and Staff:
âThere are no extra pieces in the BASD puzzle. Everyone is here because they have a place to fill. Each one of us is a piece of the big picture.â
Dr. Schrode-Fries took this yearâs opening day puzzle-theme into the classroom. Her elementary and middle school gifted students created two beautiful puzzle murals.
