Food Drive
Every month, NHS and NJHS help prepare meals for needy people and the homeless at the Flagstaff Family Food Center. Help us help out some folks in need by donating to their food drive! Each nonperishable, factory-sealed food item you donate will earn your student's grade a point. The grade with the most points by December 19th will win a prize! Bring your food in to the front office for tallying, then place it in the appropriately marked box in the foyer.

Notice Greetings BASIS Parents, You may have noticed some recent changes on our school websites. We are pleased to inform you that we have been reviewing of all of our webpages, and have made important updates to provide you with the most current and up to date information about your school. While many changes are designed to help you find information about the schools, we have also detected the need to change some of our policies. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to critical contact information in two important policies: Notice of Non Discrimination and Student Sexual Harassment. Both policies have been updated to reflect the contact information for the current Title IX Coordinator for all BASIS schools. Please click on the link below to review the modified BASIS policies. All changes to the policies will be noted in red. If you have any questions regarding these modifications, please feel free to contact the Title IX Coordinator. Thank you for taking the time to review these policies. We are confident the changes will only benefit you and your family going forward.
