A Message from Our Principal, Mrs. Lucas
Battlefield Bobcat Community,
As we prepare to leave for the winter break, I would like to take this time to wish you and your family a safe, festive, and restful holiday. It is also an opportunity to reset and gear up for the remainder of the school year. Our winter concerts were well-received, and our students have donned holiday cheer.
When students return to school on January 2, 2024, we will begin counting unexcused tardies to school at the 7:25 bell. These tardies can result in warnings, after school detention, or parking pass restrictions (for student drivers). Students are encouraged to arrive to school in time to move through the scanner system and get to class prior to the tardy bell ringing. We have monitored students entering through the scanners and there is plenty of time for all students to make to class on time.
Again, I hope you have a wonderful break and see you in 2024!
Mrs. Lucas
