Welcome Back!
Good Afternoon BASH Students and Parents/Guardians,
We are excited to start the 2023-2024 school year and wanted to provide you with information as we prepare for the first day of school on Monday, August 21, 2023. During our first day of school, all students should report to their assigned HR on time (7:40AM) and will remain with their HR completing various tasks throughout the day. Students with late arrival and/or early dismissal, along with BCTC students, are expected to attend the full day of school (7:40-2:48). Starting Tuesday, students may follow their early dismissal or late arrival schedules. BCTC students may arrive late, or depart early provided they check out in attendance and have their own transportation. BCTC students without transportation may stay at BASH in Open Campus. BCTC students will attend tech starting Wednesday, August 23.
Below are some specific points of interest by grade level:

Student Drivers:
As we approach the start of the 2023-2024 SY, we would like share information regarding Student Parking Permit applications. There are a limited number of permits, and applications will be sent to Seniors first, followed by Juniors. Any student who has an obligation from the 2022-2023, either financial or detentions, must have their obligations cleared by Thursday, 8/24/23 at 2:45PM. Laptop/technology fees for the 2023-2024 SY will not impede a student from purchasing a permit as they assigned during the first week of school and are not due until September. This is also true for athletic fees which are due in September as well. Students and families can check financial obligations in the Infinite Campus portal under the "Fees" tab. Students can check in ISS to see if they owe detentions, and students may serve detentions after school, starting Monday, August 21 st. Student Parking Permit information is attached for both students and parents/guardians to review. Please note, students must have a valid driver's license when purchasing their permit or they will be denied.
The Senior Parking Permit Signup G-Form will be emailed on Sunday, August 20 th at 7:00PM. Junior signup forms will be emailed on Sunday, August 27 th at 7:00PM. Applications will be reviewed and approved in the order they are received.
It is important that all students and families develop a backup plan if they do not receive a parking permit. During the first week of school, parking is available to all. Additional information will follow as we approach Sunday, August 20 th.
