COVID FAQs from PWCS

We understand that traffic in the mornings and afternoons is very frustrating. We have more volume this year than any other year--even with 300 less students due to the opening of Gainesville HS. Some of the concerns will be lessened as we move forward in the year. Usually bus issues get resolved meaning busses get out quicker, and less parents drop off and pick up as the year continues. However, we will keep working on it, and work together, understanding there are reasons related to the pandemic that may be causing more people to be car riders than bus riders. Thanks for your patience.

Welcome back, Bobcats! Just a reminder that students can return any overdue books to our library, even ones owed to other schools in the county. We do not charge fines for overdue books, only if they are lost or returned damaged. Hope to see everyone in the library real soon!

From the Virginia Chapter Wrestling Hall of Fame Facebook page:

“Success in wrestling is one of the most difficult challenges. To coach others to success is a special gift. Brian Shaffer has poured out that gift to others in Virginia’s college and high school programs.

As head coach for 13 years at George Mason Wrestling, he amassed 100 dual meet victories, 35 NCAA Wrestling qualifiers and won three CAA Conference team championships (’96, ‘97, ’01). He was twice named the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year.

In 2010, Brian returned to high-school wrestling at Prince William County Public Schools. As head coach of Battlefield Wrestling, he won eight conference titles, four regional championships, and the 2018 Virginia 6A state championship.

He was District Coach of the Year eight times, 2017 Washington Post All-Met Coach of the Year, and the 2018 National Wrestling Coaches Association Virginia Coach of the Year.

Coach Shaffer is currently a special education teacher at Battlefield High School and shares his gift with those that need him most.”

2021-22 New VHSL Sports Physical Form

Sports physicals can be used for the next school year if they are done after May 1, 2021. There is a required, new VHSL sports physical being used for high school athletics. Many Doctors offices do not have this updated physical form yet, so please make sure you use the new form. It can be obtained on the homepage of our athletic website, www.bobcatspride.org. Please print the VHSL updated form and take to your sports physical appointment. The new form will say REVISED JANUARY 2021 on the top righthand corner.

Please remember the old revised 2017 VHSL sports physical will not be accepted next year.

Thank you, BHS Activities Office
