For the Parents
Cooperation between parents and teachers will help provide positive educational experiences. When students perceive a spirit of mutual support and cooperation between parents and teachers, they will display a more eager attitude toward learning and achievement.
School Attendance
Students should not arrive earlier than 15 minutes before school begins and should leave no later than 15 minutes after school is dismissed.
​
The school hours are:
Monday-Thursday 8:00- 3:00

An important aspect of Christian education is to teach our children responsibility by consistent attendance and being on time.

School Menu
A student's diet has a direct impact on their ability to perform well in school. Choose foods with good nutrition that are as close to their natural state as possible. Lunches are not to contain unclean meats (as defined in Leviticus 11) or caffeinated beverages. Meals are available from the Bass Memorial Academy Cafeteria during their school term. These need to be paid for in advance. Meals are $3.50 each.
