Our Battlefield Bobcast Has a New Look!

As you can see, our Battlefield Bobcast has a new look! We've taken feedback from our students, staff and the community into consideration to streamline information as it appears in our digital newsletter.


Each week, any new reminders, announcements and updates will be listed on this page under the section below, titled with the same name, "New Reminders, Announcements & Updates." After one week, any relevant information will move to separate categorized pages located under the "Old Reminders, Announcements & Updates" section of this page. Simply click on the corresponding image to view more information.


In addition, under the section "Old Reminders, Announcements & Updates" is a link that will take you to a site that stores previous versions of the Bobcast.


We hope that you will enjoy the new look of the Battlefield Bobcast as must as we do!
