BASD STAGGERED START DATES

IT’S ALMOST TIME, BASD! 
The countdown is on, and we are getting ready to welcome our students back for the 2026–2027 school year! Our buildings are coming to life, classrooms are ready, and our staff are excited to see those smiling faces walking through the doors. 
Below you’ll find the staggered start dates and times for BASD. If your student is in a grade level with a staggered start, families should have already received communication with their specific first day. Be sure to check ParentSquare or your email if you need to confirm your student’s start date.
We can’t wait for the first-day excitement, the big smiles, new adventures, and all the possibilities that come with a brand-new school year!
BASD, we’re ready for you! Let’s make it a great year!
