Battle Creek Public Schools

Parents / Guardians, When we redid the parking on the South side of the school, we removed the 'stoppers' that helped people gauge how far to pull forward into the parking spot. It looks much better without them there and snow removal will be much simpler, but that means we have to be cognizant of how far we pull forward when parking or dropping off students. Please make sure there is enough space for students / staff / parents / guardians to walk through using the sidewalk area in front of where you park. There should still be plenty of room between your vehicle and the street, even with a little extra room for the sidewalk area. #CommittedToExcellence!
