ANNUAL STUDENT INFORMATION VERIFICATION DUE BY MONDAY, AUGUST 21st
REQUIRED: Annual Student Information Verification
Our REQUIRED Annual Student Information Verification (ASIV) via the Infinite Campus (IC) Parent Portal opened on July 31, 2023.
This annual verification process includes the following:
Updating critical personal demographics (email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) and emergency contact information used to contact parents/guardians with district-wide communications, school closings, emergencies, etc.
Even if none of the personal demographic/emergency contact information has changed in the past year, ASIV includes crucial 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 result in ‘NO’ for publicity clearance and fundraising. BASD will remove your child from photo opportunities, newsletters, etc., and they will not receive fundraising materials.
The deadline for updating this information is August 21, 2023. Please see the letter attached below for more details and instructions.
Thank you for your cooperation!
BASD FOOD SERVICE
Correction to Food Services Information Packet
When we released the Food Services Information Packet last week, there was a typo. The correct price for elementary lunches is $2.80. We apologize for the confusion. A new copy of the packet is attached.
