From the school

Basic High School maintains an open line of communication with parents and members of the community throughout the school year. Meetings are held to provide information about school curriculum, classroom instruction, student achievement, and extra-curricular activities. Some examples include: monthly Parent Advisory Committee meetings, Open House, Junior Jump Start College Night, Financial Aid Night, Eighth Grade Family Night, Freshman Barbecue & Orientation, AVID Family Nights, Advanced Placement Parent Night, Senior Awards Night, field trip parent informational meetings, student activities, and sports banquets. Also, community members, parents, and students regularly attend Advisory Council meetings held for the School-Based Health Center and the Law, Justice, and Public Service Institute. Intouch Online gives parents and students the ability to review students grades and attendance and email teachers with questions. Newsletters are sent to parents and posted on our new website with news of student achievement, student recognition, and school activities. In addition, flyers, postcards, and letters are routinely sent home to parents to announce important events.
