Hello Bobcats Families!
This week's message includes our standard reminders, along with some information about student iPads and the end of the first quarter.
Cellphone Policy: Please remind students about the expectations regarding the use of personal devices during school. The cell phones and Meta glasses should be turned off from 7:30-2:10. We also continue to remind staff to share expectations with students.
Khan Academy: This is a great tool for students to reinforce their understanding and improve their level of skill through practice. Khan offers skills-based activities for a myriad of subjects.
iPad FAQ: Please visit the Student iPad FAQ to find answers about devices, accessories, care, and student responsibility.
As always, thank you for partnering with our school to ensure a positive culture and experience.

Clune Cares Foundation Supports Battlefield's FTC Robotics Program
A special thank you to the Clune Cares Foundation for their generous donation to Battlefield High School's FTC Robotics program. This contribution will provide critical funding for much-needed classroom supplies and materials that directly enhance the student experience. We are grateful for their investment in education and commitment to supporting future innovators. Their partnership is making a meaningful difference for our students.
CASIIT Corner: Future Bobcats Explore CASIIT!
Battlefield High School recently welcomed prospective students and families to CASIIT Information Night, where guests learned about the exciting opportunities available through the Center for Applied Sciences, Interactive, and Information Technology (CASIIT). Families explored pathways in programming, cybersecurity, computer networking, interactive technology, engineering, and robotics while learning about Dual Enrollment, Advanced Placement, and industry certification opportunities available to students.
One of the most memorable parts of the evening was hearing from Joe Garay, Armaan Khan, Nick Diatchenko, Adriana Sanchez, and Jayden Thompson, five current CASIIT students, who shared their experiences and perspectives on the program. From discussing favorite classes and hands-on projects to describing how CASIIT has helped shape their future goals, the students provided an authentic look at what it means to be part of the CASIIT community.
The excitement and engagement throughout the evening reflected the tremendous opportunities available to students who are interested in technology, creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to the students and staff who helped make the evening such a success. We are excited to meet the future Bobcats who may soon be joining the CASIIT family!
