Reminders: 

Please submit-Governor’s Educator of the Year Recognition Program

The state of New Jersey would like to recognize educators who go above and beyond the call of duty to support our young children.  Please take a moment to nominate a special educator from BAS. Nominations can include the classroom teacher, special activity teacher, classroom assistants and special services like Speech.  In addition, it may be the school nurse, counselor and/or child study team member. Since the nominating process takes place in November, you may think back to your experiences last year and nominate that person as well.  If you have someone that you would like to nominate, please fill out the attached form and return it to the main office (or email it to me) by December 1, 2019.

Our teachers and staff are well deserving of this recognition.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

The Holiday Boutique is coming to BAS!  The gym will be transformed into a shop filled with gifts.  The children will visit the Boutique with their class to “shop” for their loved ones and enjoy the season of giving.  It is a very exciting event during the most wonderful time of the year!

In order for the Boutique to be successful we ask that parents follow the guidelines below:

1. Click here to complete the participation form.

4. Please explain to your child they are shopping for a thoughtful gift for loved ones and not shopping for themselves.
