Can you escape the biology room on the second day of class? YES YOU CAN! Escape room team competition was successful during each period. The overall winners took just over 25 minutes. Nothing can hold back the BCHS sophomores this year!

Booster Club Kickoff August 17, 2022 6:30pm Battle Creek High School Gym Let’s meet our Fall sports teams and show how we will support to them through the upcoming academic and athletic year! The BC Athletic Boosters will have opportunities for you to renew your individual, family and business memberships, sponsor future home sporting events, and get information about the current apparel order. We will also be discussing how your student/athletes will be asked to help with this year’s fundraiser during the BIG Polaris Ranger Crew Cab GIVEAWAY!

This Art class is “stacked” with talent! Art 3 & 4 advanced Art students.

Parents / Guardians: There was some confusion brought to my attention in regards to online completion of back to school forms. At both the JH/HS and Elementary level, we are completely online this year for form completion. If you do not know your PowerSchool login or do not have your PowerSchool login, please call your respective office and ask for assistance. We also have computers readily available at school to complete the forms, if needed. Paper copies will not go home this year other than at the elementary for ‘Doubles’ permission and Activity Fees. Once you’re logged on, it’s so much simpler than filling everything out by hand for each child. If you have concerns about the new process at the elementary, I would encourage you to reach out to myself, Mr. Childers, and I will gladly explain the ‘why’ behind our changes. Thanks!

Battle Creek Public Schools was fortunate to have these wonderful Mid-West Bank employees stop by Tuesday morning to wish our staff a great school year. Thank you @MidwestBanks for your support of Battle Creek Public Schools. #BCPRIDE

This week's Hall of Fame inductee bio goes way back! Please welcome the 1961 Football Team to the BCPS Hall of Fame! https://www.battlecreekschools.net/o/battle-creek-public-schools/page/hall-of-fame-bio-1961-fb

Battle Creek Elementary Reminder! Our Elementary Open House / Meet the Teacher night will be tonight, August 9th, from 5:00pm-6:30pm. We would love to see all of you here. Feel free to bring school supplies and your free/reduced lunch paperwork with you in order to make Thursday a little more simple! All other paperwork (for the most part) should be completed online. If you need help with that process, please call the office at (402) 675-8085. We are working to go almost paperless, which means this year will be a different process than in the past, but it will make future years so much simpler! I am excited to start another year at Battle Creek where excellence is just part of our culture! Mr. Childers
