Welcome to the BHS Express
A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School
Hello Bulldog Families.
This week, our students took some time on Wednesday to honor those who were lost in the attacks on 9/11/01. BHS believes this is important so that our young students understand the sacrifice that our first responders made on that day and how this event impacted our country. We are very proud of how seriously our students reacted during our moment of silence.
Please take some time to sign up for our Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, September 19th. The sign up link is in the “take note” section. We also want to remind everyone that our students have no school on Monday, September 16th, as teachers are participating in a professional development/data day.
Also, please take a moment to review the information linked below about the 2024 BHS Homecoming Dance. Dates, details and other important information is included there.
We hope you all have a great weekend, and our BHS students enjoy their three-day weekend.
In service to our Bulldogs.
