BAS Admission Standards
It is the policy of BAS to admit students regardless of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origins. All
students have the right to the priviledges, programs and activities offered by the school. In order to maintain the
objectives of BAS and because it is a church oriented educational institution, admission qualifications have been
established.
Only those students and their families who are in agreement with the philosophy and objectives of BAS and who will
cooperate with the principles of the school should apply for admission. Students of other religious faiths are
welcome provided they will respect the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist faith and maintain a reverent
attitude during religious exercises and Bible class.
The applicant should be in good physical health. Any identified physical conditions should be shared with the
administrator and appropriate faculty member to ensure the students learning is not hindered. Medical examinations
are required for all new students. State Law requires that up to date immunization records be placed on file with
the school. Failure to comply with this request will result in suspension from class attendance until
immunization records are on file at the school.
Students should be in good academic standing at their previous school. New studnets may be tested to determine
grade placement. BAS strives to provide the best possible education for all of its students; however, BAS
does not have the facilities or the staff to handle all special educational needs.
Students entering kindergarten must be five years of age on or before September 15 of the year they enter kindergarten.
Students entering first grade must be six years of age on or before September 15 of the year they enter first grade. All students
entering these grades will minimally be given teh Gesell Developmental Readiness assessment. Parent(s) are welcome to stay with their
child while the assessment is in progress. Once the assessment is completed, the tester will arrange a time when
the parent(s) may return to review the findings of the assessment. BAS reserves the right to determine if the student
and BAS are compatible and/or if the student is developmentally ready to register at BAS.
Admission Procedures- Send a completed application with the prospective student's most recent report card.
- BAS will acknowledge receipt of application.
- If applicable, clear financial obligations with previous school
- If space is available in the applied for grade, BAS will arrange a date for placement testing.
- Parent(s) and student(s) meet with the principal.
- Admissions committee will review all pertinent information and decide on admission to BAS.
- Parents will be notified of the admissions committee decision.
Parent-School Partnership
The relationship between the parent and the school is essential to the success of the child in all aspects of the school
experience. The school recognizes that failure to maintain a positive working relationship between the parent and the
school will have a negative effect on the child. Therefore, if the school board committee determines that the parent/school
relationship is counter productive to the student's success, the parent(s) will be required to withdraw their child/children
from the school program.
