The District Design Survey has been re-opened for the month of October and is now available in both English and Spanish.

District Design is a comprehensive look at how BASD is structured today and how we should plan for the future, including enrollment, class sizes, school locations, attendance boundaries, programs, educational needs, and the financial resources available to the District. BASD has not undertaken a major district redesign since the 1990s, making community input especially important as we look at where we are today and where we need to be in the future.

If a family or community member already completed the survey, there is no need to complete it again. We are encouraging those who have not yet participated to share their perspectives.

We want to make sure our families have an opportunity to participate and understand that their input will help inform the District Design process as potential options are developed and ultimately brought to the School Board for consideration.

Calling All Families of Young Men in Grades 6–8!

Every young man deserves positive role models, encouragement, and a community of people who believe in his potential!

The Guide Right Mentoring Program is looking for young men in grades 6–8 to join a brotherhood focused on leadership, character, personal growth, academic success, and community service.

This is more than just a mentoring program. It's an opportunity for our young men to build confidence, develop friendships, learn from positive male role models, and discover the leaders they can become.

Whether your son is already excelling or could benefit from additional encouragement and guidance, this program offers an opportunity to grow!

Location: Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem, 1430 Fritz Drive

As the Sixers begin their march toward their NBA championship, East Hills is getting ready for their own exciting upcoming season.

Our teacher, Mrs. Beiner, will provide guidance and collaborate with school staff. Our students are expected to take responsibility for developing their organization skills, completing their work, and preparing for upcoming assessments.

Spots will be available each week on Tuesday and Thursdays. Teachers will partner with families to sign up students who might need this extra boost. We look forward to working together to support your child's success!
