SY27 BAK STUDENT & PARENT HANDBOOK: FOR YOUR INFORMATION (FYI)
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year! Bak is a unique arts community that promotes creativity, responsibility, and citizenship both on and off campus. Faculty, staff, and administration work with students and parents to create a caring, supportive, and nurturing environment. In this free and open environment, a level of order must be maintained. The partnership between the school and home is essential as we help students reach their potential in the arts and academics. Whether this is your first year at Bak MSOA or you are a returning student, all students and parents should read, review, discuss, and understand the information, rules, policies, and procedures contained in this document, in the First Day Folder, the SY27 Standards of Excellence (Choice Contract), and the SDPBC Student Code of Conduct, Student Progression Plan, and Student and Family Handbook. The Bak Family is a powerful community when we all work together! This document should be used as a reference by students and parents throughout the school year. Wherever the word "parent(s)'' appears, it is also referring to the guardian(s) or person(s) acting as a parent.
