WELCOME!

Greetings!

 

Welcome to BASIS Scottsdale!  By choosing to attend our school, you have embarked on a very unique journey, one that will be full of some challenges, as well as many amazing opportunities.  The BASIS curriculum is unique in the nation and BASIS Scottsdale, as the number one school in Arizona and the number two high school in the nation, has clearly demonstrated its excellence.  

 

The reason for this success can clearly be attributed to the fabulous teachers and staff and the incomparable curriculum.  However, in addition to those factors, one of the things that sets BASIS Scottsdale apart is its amazing families and students.  BASIS Scottsdale is comprised of a diverse and vibrant community of families and students who have demonstrated their commitment to the pursuit of educational excellence by their decision to join this school and pursue such a rigorous academic path. Given such a phenomenal constituency, it is no wonder that the BASIS Scottsdale Boosters (the parent volunteer organization for BASIS Scottsdale) has been able to accomplish so much in such a short time.

 

Through the volunteer efforts and financial assistance of our BASIS Scottsdale families, Boosters has been able to provide the supplemental support necessary to ensure that our teachers and students have all of the resources that they need to succeed in achieving their educational goals. This year, I have the privilege to serve as your Boosters President, and I plan to work hard to ensure that Boosters continues its tradition of service and support.

 

We hope that you will join us in our efforts by becoming a member of the Boosters today!  Membership in the Boosters does not require that you volunteer with the organization.  We understand that not every family has the ability to volunteer.  However, if you do have the time to volunteer in any capacity, small or large, your efforts are always GREATLY appreciated!  Working together, we can ensure that BASIS Scottsdale remains the standard for excellence in education, not just in Arizona, but in the world!

 

Taj Loo, President

BASIS Scottsdale Boosters, Inc.

 

JOIN BASIS SCOTTSDALE BOOSTERS
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS!
The primary purpose of BASIS Scottsdale Boosters is to support our students and teachers.  

Already this school year, the Boosters has fulfilled many teachers' wish list requests!  

We've purchased skeleton models, history books, Spanish language magazine subscriptions, flags, globes, rock and mineral kits, physics equipment, calculators, dry erase boards, student support supplies, rulers, a coordinate marker board, and various other teacher supplies.  However, teachers continue to submit wish list requests to the Boosters throughout the school year asking for support in procuring items that assist them as they educate our children at the highest levels. 

When you join the Boosters, you are helping us continue to provide support to our classrooms!

LUNCH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

WARNING!

 

There is a critical shortage of parent volunteers for the lunch program. If there are not enough volunteers, the BASIS Scottsdale Boosters will have to scale back on the number of days that lunch service can be provided. Please help us continue to provide this valuable service to our community, which also raises funds for the school. It only requires two hours of your time once a month, and is a great way to see your student at school as well as to meet other parents.

 

To volunteer, please contact Donelle Johnson at [email protected]. Many thanks to everyone who has agreed to volunteer already.
