BASHAW SCHOOL: NOVEMBER UPDATES
October 31
Education is the passport to the future!
GENERAL NEWS & INFORMATION
REMINDER on student attendance
Please be sure to call/email the school to let them know if your child will be away. Students are automatically marked as absent if we do not receive a call. Our system differentiates between absences. If your student is ill or under the weather, please let us know so we can mark them as such, INSTEAD of absent. Likewise, if they will be attending an appointment or will otherwise be missing school, we can mark them as "parent call". Absence reports matter and differentiating between the TYPE of absence makes a difference.
For safety reasons, if your child is leaving the school for ANY reason, a phone call/email to the office is REQUIRED. All students must SIGN OUT before leaving and SIGN IN upon return.
Fall Break - Schools closed November 10-12
Our upcoming fall break will run from November 10-12. School resumes on Thursday November 13. Enjoy your time off.

Bashaw School Jr Drama presents ANNIE
Our Junior High drama students have been hard at work bringing the beloved musical Annie to life! They have been dedicating countless hours to rehearsing lines, perfecting songs, and fine-tuning choreography, all to deliver a show that will truly shine.
From the energetic orphan ensemble to the heartwarming story of optimism and hope, this year’s production of Annie promises to be an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The students’ creativity, teamwork, and commitment are nothing short of inspiring, and we can’t wait for you to see the magic they’ve created on stage.
Come support our incredible young performers and enjoy an evening of laughter, music, and heart. This is one show you won’t want to miss!
