Welcome to the BHS Express

Hello Bulldog Families.

We’ve wrapped up our last full week before Thanksgiving break and will only have school on Monday and Tuesday of next week. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family.

We have several student photos included in this edition of the newsletter. We think you will enjoy looking through it to see all the amazing opportunities provided to our BHS students.

This edition of The BHS Express will be the last one of November. There will not be a newsletter issued next week. December 6th will be the next time The BHS Express is issued; however, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

In service to our Bulldogs.

BHS teachers Malerie Jump-Haerr and Joel Williams were recognized at Monday's Board of Education Meeting. Our students, with the support of these two teachers, produced Batavia High School's first Fall Play, A Reunion to Die For.

• Please read this special note from our Batavia Schools Resource Coordinator, Daniel Dauwe:

Hello all,

With the Holiday approaching quickly I am aware there are barriers and hardships in all our lives. My job with Batavia schools is to try and eliminate as much of that as possible. I am here to assist in any way I can. If you need any assistance with everyday needs or just some help for the holiday season, please let me know asap. I will do my best to try and eliminate the pressures the holidays can bring so you can focus on the children and their joy. Please let me know what I can help with.

Great Oaks Information for BHS 10th Grade Students

Great Oaks presented their program options to all BHS sophomore students this week. Each student was given a catalog with information about Great Oaks programs at all of the campuses and about the timeline and procedure to apply to Great Oaks. Sophomore students will be doing a visit to Live Oaks in January to shadow their choice of two programs. GreatOaks.Com
