BASHAW SCHOOL UPDATE

February 12, 2024

Thank you...

As we head into a week where love is often celebrated, it is our heartfelt wish for you to know that we love and appreciate the beauty and uniqueness each student brings to our school 💘 Good job, families, in raising such wonderful human beings!

IMPORTANT CHANGE TO PERMISSION FORMS 📝

BRSD has made a BIG change to how permission forms are completed.

From now on all permission forms for any events off campus must be filled in online, through Rycor Online Payments. This will include all field trips, sports league games and tournaments, and off campus activities, such as walking to the nature trail, etc. In the past you have been given a paper copy to sign. But as of February 1, BRSD has moved to an online process.

What does this mean for you?

You will be spared trying to find forms in your children's backpacks, under their laundry, stuck behind the fridge, etc.☺️
You will be required to have an active account for Online Payments. You can create one here:

https://www.studentquickpay.com/brsd/

Payments for events will be required prior to the event. You will be able to make payments and sign forms at the same time.

If you need any help setting up your account, please contact the office. We will be happy to help!

ALL STUDENTS NEED TO BRING.... 💧 🍴

Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school every day!

Also, if they bring a lunch that requires utensils, please ensure they bring them from home.

WINTER BREAK

The school will be closed from Thursday, February 15 - Monday, February 19.

We hope you have a WONDERFUL Family Day on Monday, February 19!
