ATTENTION BASH STUDENTS PARKING IN THE REDNERS PLAZA OR ANY OTHER SURROUNDING
PRIVATE PARKING LOTS:
Parents/guardians of student driver’s. Please remind your student driver that Redners Plaza parking lot as well as
other surrounding private parking lots are for private use of patrons utilizing the stores/facilities in that/those
plaza(s)/facilities. Please be cognizant that parking in these lots during/throughout the school day will leave you

Discount Internet Access:
Access to the internet has become an essential avenue for gaining access to information and services. Increasingly,
services are being provided online and in some cases exclusively online. Unfortunately, the need to cut costs has
pushed some companies/providers to move entire industries online. Additionally, educational resources and supports
are also growing rapidly in the online world. A challenge that these changes are creating is how to help ensure
everyone has access to the internet. Thankfully, a few of our local internet service providers’ offer low cost/need
based internet programs starting as low as $9.95 per month. If you are interested in learning more about these
programs, please visit the following sites or call the company directly at the number listed.

Cyber harassment of a child is committed when another person repeatedly contacts a child through electronic means
(such as through text messages, instant messages or through social media services) with the intent to harass, annoy or
alarm the child and makes seriously harmful comments about the child or threatens to harm the child.
It is important for students and parents to realize that cyberbullying behaviors can now be criminally charged as a
misdemeanor offense under this new law.
Parents should discuss household rules about online activity with their children, and remind them not to engage in
mean, harmful messages about or to others.

Vehicle Access To The BASH Campus:
Visitors may NOT utilize the construction entrance off of Montgomery Avenue to access the BASH campus. Visitors
are to continue using the Monroe Street entrance accessible from the Boyertown Borough. Student drop-off and pick-
up can continue to utilize the Madison Avenue entrance from the Boyertown Borough. Drop-off and pick-up will

Important Parking Information:
For all students who will be purchasing a parking permit—be advised that there have been changes made in our
parking procedures due to the construction project here at BASH. Due to the increase in staff here at the Senior High,
the entire parking lot located directly behind the auditorium (“band lot”) is now for staff parking only. Additionally,
the two-tiered lot adjacent to Monroe Street is for construction contractor parking only. All students are to park in the
new paved lot (old stone lot) located below the “band lot.”
When you purchase and have been issued a parking tag which you MUST display face out, from your rear-view
mirror. The number on the tag is simply a means of identifying your vehicle in the BASH lot, YOU DO NOT HAVE
AN ASSIGNED SPACE. Parking will be on a first come, first served bases. Please be cognizant that parking
locations may change throughout the course of the 2015/2016 school year due to the construction project. If you need
to drive a different vehicle to school it must be registered before school starts for the day. ANY VEHICLE PARKED
IN A STAFF SPACE, NOT DISPLAYING A PARKING PERMIT TAG, OR NOT PROPERLY REGISTERED
WILL BE TICKETED!
As always, you may not share your parking permit with another student unless you are siblings. In that case, both
siblings need to be registered to that permit number. Students who are found to be sharing their permit with an
unregistered student will lose their parking privilege at the discretion of their grade level principal.

OC privilege
o Students may appropriately use electronic devices, participate in light conversation with their peers,
use available snack vending machines, and have the availability to acquire passes to go to the library or
other authorized building locations
Reasons for student loss of OC privilege resulting in a quiet study hall placement
o A final quarterly grade below a 70% in any one of his/her courses (core content and/or related studies)
as measured from the previous quarter’s final grades (PLEASE NOTE: Initial placement for the
2014/2015 school year is based on current sophomore, junior, and senior students who had a final
course grade of below a 70% in any one of his/her courses from the 2013/2014 SY)
o Non-completion of a financial obligation (e.g. lost book replacement)
o Non-completion of a previously assigned consequence by established due date (e.g. overdue detention)
o Non-completion of career portfolio graduation requirement at the conclusion of the designated school
year
Career Portfolio Graduation Requirement Information:
Continuing this 2015/2016 school year, students will now have placed on his/her report card and transcript, progress
attained on the Career Portfolio Graduation Project requirement. At the conclusion of each quarter and school year,
homeroom teachers/advisors will be required to enter either a “P” (Pass) or an “F” (Fail) for each of the students on
their respective homeroom rosters based on the completion of the requirements for that particular quarter or school
year. The “P” or the “F” will be the result of properly maintaining the records of each of the students assigned to them
as the homeroom teacher/advisor through the notebooks turned into the School Counseling Office.
A student with the expected completed requirements for each of the three years at BASH (10-11-12) will receive the
“P” rating for that particular quarter/year. A student NOT completing the expected requirements for each of the three
years at BASH (10-11-12) will receive the “F” rating for that particular quarter/year. Students receiving an “F” for
either a quarter or year will not have access to BASH privileges until the next subsequent quarter/year report indicates
a “P” for passing.
Please feel free to contact Mrs. Mason (Class of 2017 Grade Level/Assistant Principal) who serves as the
Administrator for the Career Portfolio Graduation Project requirement should you have any additional questions.

We are pleased to share that all Boyertown Area Schools continue with the Raptor Identification System for this
2015-2016 school year. This system is located in each school office. We will be requiring that all school visitors/
volunteers provide a driver’s license or other government-issued identification card and the visitor/volunteer will be
able to proceed into the school as planned. School staff will swipe the card to determine if the individual is a
registered sex offender. In most cases the system will issue a temporary ID badge to wear during a visit or volunteer
activity. If the system lists any offender information, the principal will intervene and the individual will not be
permitted to enter the school outside of the school office area. Individuals who need to drop off or pick up materials
in the school office will not be required to use the system. This system was identified as a safety improvement by our
District and Building Safety Teams. Through our successful application to the Safe Schools Grant, we obtained
outside funding for all of this equipment. Additional information on the Raptor System can be found on our District
website at http://www.boyertownasd.org/domain/1179. We thank all parents, guardians and visitors in advance for
your cooperation as we implement this new system. We are committed to continuing to provide a safe school
environment for all students, staff and community members.
