BASIS Scottsdale Families,
Please take a moment to read the important message below about our new BASIS Scottsdale building project. We are urging parents and BASIS Scottsdale supporters to attend several upcoming City of Scottsdale meetings in order to show your support for our expansion.
There are currently four meetings scheduled (details provided below) - so if you can "divide and conquer" in terms of attendance amongst your family and friends, we would greatly appreciate it. The more support we have, the better - but we know you that many of you have little ones at home or at extra-curriculars and attendance isn't always possible!
We will send over additional details, including talking points, once we receive your RSVP.
Thank you for your support and attention to this important matter!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth McConaghy, Head of School
Julie Kearney, Head of Operations
Important News About BASIS Scottsdale Construction
Dear BASIS families,
You are receiving this message as an update regarding BASIS Scottsdale's planned MS-HS location for the 2016-2017 school year at 128th Street and Shea. We are excited to be moving forward in the development process. However, the City of Scottsdale has received some forceful notes from nearby neighbors strongly opposing our project.
In order to ensure that our new school moves forward within our tight construction timeline, we need BASIS families to come forward and make sure the city hears your voice. We'd like to invite you to participate in the following public meetings with us -
your attendance and support of BASIS Scottsdale's proposed MS-HS campus will be essential to the overall success of the project! The city needs to hear from you! Please email me if you will be able to attend so that I may put together estimated headcounts ([email protected]). January 13, 2016 - 5:00 PM (Abandonment of Easement)
