Let’s start the year off right! We start back this Tuesday, August 25th. Commit to helping your student succeed by prioritizing attendance from Day 1 at BART Charter School.

Remember: missing just 2 days a month adds up to 18 days a year—that's 10% of the school year. Let's make every day count! 🎒✨
