A Message From Our Principal, Mrs. Lucas

Parents/Guardians,


We encourage you to check your child's cafeteria balance and add money to it as appropriate. You can check the cafeteria balance by visiting MySchoolBucks.com.


In celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday, Battlefield will participate in "Read Across America" on Friday, March 1. We will spend the first 15 minutes of 1st period immersed in reading. Please be sure your child brings something to read as we celebrate the opportunity to build our literacy and engage our minds.

Mid-Point of Grading Period Approaching

The interim of Marking Period 3 occurs mid-week next week. Please log in to Canvas to see how your student(s) are progressing through their assignments and log in to ParentVUE to check grades and to check in with teachers about any concerns.

1st Semester Honor Rolls

Congratulations to all the Battlefield students who have earned 1st semester honor roll for the 2023-2024 school year! View the BHS Honor Roll webpage to view the lists and criteria. Way to go, Bobcats!
