Welcome to the BHS Express
A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School
Hello Bulldog Families.
We were excited to welcome back students this week! We noticed that everyone was a little sleepy on Monday but by Wednesday, the noise level in the hallways and in the cafeteria was back to normal!
I wanted to mention that we only have two and half weeks until our winter break, but it’s important to note that this does not mark the end of our second quarter/first semester. Due to our adjusted school calendar to accommodate construction, our second quarter/first semester does not end until January 12th. Please remind your students to complete any missing work prior to the break. This will help them stay on track and not be caught by surprise when they return to school in January.
We have several concerts coming up throughout the next few weeks. It’s always a treat to come see our talented musicians! If you are available on December 4th or December 13th, you will not be disappointed by our musically-gifted BHS students.
Have a wonderful weekend.
In service to our Bulldogs.
