Hallway Pass System

BASH Students & Families,

Our goal is to minimize the number of students in the hallways and restrooms while increasing the time students spend in the classroom. As a result, BASH will be continue with the color-coded lanyard hallway pass system from the 2025-2026 school year. Each classroom has been provided with two lanyards that are color coded and labeled for the classroom. Students will be required to utilize the restroom assigned to their classroom while also signing out. Each restroom has been equipped with hooks outside that correlate to the max capacity of the restroom. Once the hooks are filled with lanyards, students must remain outside until someone exits to enter. In addition to all restrooms being open in the building, single use restrooms in attendance, nurse, art, and other areas of the building will continue to be available. Students who need to go to the nurse or counseling, will be provided a paper pass by the teacher. As a reminder, per BASD School Board Policy 237, the board prohibits the use of electronic device in locker rooms, bathrooms, health suites, and other changing areas at any time. Failure to comply with Board Policy 237 will result in automatic suspension.

Thank you,

BASH Admin.

BASH Discipline Reminders

Dear Students,

It is the goal of BASH to foster good work habits and promote self-discipline. In order to do so, the administration will respond to inappropriate student behaviors through one or more of the following: denial of any privileges, school service, study hall, detention, community service, in-school suspension (ISS), out of school suspension (OSS), expulsion, or placement of the student in an alternative educational setting which could include the BASD Virtual program.

In certain cases, notification of the local police department may also be warranted. When consequences are issued, the administration will consider a student’s intent, cooperation, past behavior, and honesty. Students who are dishonest will receive more severe consequences than students who are cooperative and honest. In addition, students who repeatedly violate the same rule(s) will receive more severe consequences.

Other examples of behavior that could warrant discipline are abusive language, being in an unauthorized area, disruptive behavior, repeatedly being unprepared for class, leaving an area without permission, and loitering in the building. The following are examples of disciplinary actions that could result in a 10 day Out of School Suspension (OSS) which includes an Informal Hearing and removal for 45 school days from the building: Fights, Assault, Disorderly Conduct, Weapons, Threats, Institutional Vandalism, and possession/use/distribution of Drugs/Alcohol. These infractions are also examples of behaviors that could lead to expulsion.

These lists are not meant to be comprehensive. The administration reserves the right to issue student discipline, withhold activities, and/or suspend students that commit any inappropriate act while under school jurisdiction. This may include but is not limited to, dances, school trips, student parking, and any other school-related functions. This model is designed to become progressively more severe and to attempt to find a successful consequence. For this reason, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and learn from their mistakes as they develop into productive citizens.

We encourage all students to familiarize themselves with the updated discipline resolution procedures in the student handbook. It is important for everyone to understand their rights and responsibilities in maintaining a positive and respectful school environment.

Thank you,

BASH Admin.
