[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEED to know more & I'm not reading the 500 page app.  Give me the deets PLEASE.

I have an older child at BASIS MS far away from my house.  LOVE IT.  I have a younger child at a local elementary near my house.  LOVE IT.

1.  Would they be at the same campus?  I know they don't know which campus, but the same or 2 different ones?

[i]Not according to this. They would open 1 K-4 campus in either Ward 1 or 2. After ~3 years they would open a second K-4 campus anywhere but Ward 1 or 2. [/i]

Students from these 2 campuses would both go to the current, downtown building starting in 5th.

2. My younger child has severe emotional needs -- does anyone have experience with how BASIS handles something like that for MS?  (E.g. current school waived her tests all last year because she was having panic attacks, even though she is really smart -- tested 3 grades above grade level the year before when she was less of an emotional mess.  Would basis accommodate her?  She does have an IEP and an autism diagnosis.)

[i]Lots of discussion in this about commitment to meeting IEPs in an inclusion model. [As a BASIS parent with a kid on an IEP for other stuff I wouldn't recommend it. I think it would be a struggle.][/i]

3.  If I choose NOT to go to Basis next year (due to severe emotional needs), would it then screw us over in 5th grade eventually because current kids would have priority over siblings?[/quote]
[i]
Not addressed. I'd go to one of the interest meetings and ask. [/i][/quote]
