Welcome to the BHS Express
A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School
Hello Bulldog Families.
It’s been an exciting week at BHS as students and staff celebrated Homecoming spirit week! Take a few minutes to look through some of the pictures we’ve captured this week.
We have two short weeks for students to work on getting all of their work turned in. October 10th is the last day of the first quarter which means that the second quarter ineligibility list will be generated based upon the first quarter grades. Please help your students understand the importance of earning passing grades in all of their classes every quarter.
October 7th is our picture retake day for all BHS students. Please mark your calendar and help your student remember that this day is important if they have not already had their picture taken.
We can’t wait to see all of our students back on Monday!
In service to our Bulldogs.
