Welcome to the BHS Express

A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School

October 4, 2024

Hello Bulldog Families.

We’ve all made it through the torrential storms last weekend to enjoy what looks like a beautiful weekend coming up. The sunshine brought a little energy to the building, and BHS students are working on those last-minute projects in order to wrap up our first quarter with success. Take some time to check your students’ grades and help them get everything caught up. The end of the quarter comes on Thursday, October 10th, which is next week!

Our picture retake day is on Monday, October 7th. We will begin at 7:30 a.m. and should wrap up by 9:00 a.m. If students do not like their photos or were not at school on the previous photo day, please have them get their picture taken even if you do not plan to purchase them.

We look forward to seeing all of our students on Monday for their four-day week.

In service to our Bulldogs.
