Hey Parents & Students!

We have a lot of NEW menu items coming up in March and wanted to share that info with you! Please see the attached flyer for all the details.

Aramark is also excited to bring you our Student ViewPOINT survey, which collects feedback from students about their overall dining experience. The insights gathered will help us enhance our food service program to better meet student needs and expectations. The survey is available now through March 18th. Take the survey today! www.studentVP.com

Student Excuses/Absences may be mailed to AsaPackerAttendance@basdschools.org

Please note: Messages sent to this address would replace the Blue Excuse Form. Blue Excuse Forms may still be used if you are not sending an email.

We've noticed a lot of families walk in between our buses during entry and dismissal. Walking in between a car is scary enough at knee height, in between school buses is waist height and there is more chance to have a severe injury. Please either use the crosswalk, walk up the sidewalk by the flagpole or wait until the buses have left before entering the school entry way. We want to keep everyone safe and would appreciate your cooperation. Thank you.
