Late Arrivals and Early Pick-up
Students should arrive no less than ten minutes before the arrival time to allow time to visit their locker before their first class. All late arrivals will be recorded in the Student Arrival Log kept in the office. Unexcused tardiness is considered a Discipline Violation. To minimize disruptions, students who arrive late to school will not be allowed to go to class until the passing period following their arrival.
Tax Credit
Please help support the extracurricular program by contributing the
remaining balance of your Tax Credit to the general fund or a particular program. This opportunity can also be extended to family members and friends who reside in the state of
Arizona. Last year, BASIS friends and families contributed over $60,000. We would like to exceed the amount collected in 2007. You may download the Tax Credit Donation form
