Welcome to the BHS Express
A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School
Hello Bulldog Families.
Today officially wraps up the first quarter of the 2026-2027 school year! The school year can get busy and move quickly, so this is why we encourage students to keep up on all school obligations. Families, we need your help encouraging your high school students to stay caught up and to check their grades regularly.
As a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL for students tomorrow, October 16th and on Monday, October 19th. These student days off will serve as a nice break so that everyone can begin the second quarter on Tuesday, October 20th, with a refreshed attitude. We hope that all BHS students enjoy this little break.
Make sure you take a few minutes to review the picture retake information in the flyer below. It’s important that you indicate that you plan for the “retake” option if you do not like your student’s photos from the original picture day. Our “retake” day is next week on October 22nd.
Next week is also full with the PSAT test for sophomores and juniors (review the Parent letter that is linked into this newsletter), and the BHS PTO Carnival/Haunted House on Saturday! We hope everyone will come out to Bulldog Place on Saturday!
We wish our BHS students a great four-day weekend! We will be ready to welcome them back for the second quarter on Tuesday, October 20th.
In service to our Bulldogs.

Hi, Bulldog Families.
And just like that, we have completed the 1st quarter! We had a very successful 1st quarter which can sometimes be challenging as students get back into routines and freshmen adjust to high school expectations.
As we head into the 2nd quarter, I wanted to share some personal news. I will be taking paternity leave very soon as my wife and I are expecting our second child this fall. Another daughter to boss me around!
While I am out, please reach out to Mr. Moorehead or Mrs. Conner if you need to contact an administrator. Have a great weekend!
Go Bulldogs!

Hello, Families.
It’s hard to believe that we just wrapped up the first quarter of the school year this past week. And, students get a well deserved and hopefully relaxing fall break weekend.
Fall is definitely making its transition as the weather and leaves begin to change as some of our midwest trees begin a type of hibernation. The green colors of spring and summer give way to the hues of orange and red as the amount of photosynthesis decreases. With this being said, a mixture of the leaves on some of the roadways with rain can lead to slippery conditions. Remind your student drivers to be careful in these situations especially on backroads.
Parking passes are still available as students earn their driving privileges. Students must have a valid parking pass and parking spot to drive on school grounds during the school day. Students should not be parking on school property without one. Students can email me if they have any questions.
Lastly, please remind students to drive carefully and arrive on time as we begin the second quarter next week.
Thank you,
Joe Moorehead, Dean of Students
