Friday Message
Greetings Bobcat Community,
Battlefield Bobcats continue to display their strength and togetherness during this difficult week. We appreciate all the kind words and thoughts for our school as we remember Mr. Mark Roadarmel, Assistant Principal. He always had a smile on his face and positivity in his heart.
Mr. Roadarmel's services will be held Saturday, September 7th at 11am at Park Valley Church.
Strong Start to the AFJROTC Year
Before the school year began, our AFJROTC program hosted a cadet orientation for new incoming students who were eager to join the program. They welcomed 35 students at the orientation, helping bring our program to 114 cadets! The cadets had learned the basics and foundation of AFJROTC at the orientation, beginning with activities like marching and their first PT (physical training) with the corps. All our cadets, new and some experienced, have already tackled quite a few community service events, from volunteering to film at the football games to helping parents at Back to School Night, Unit VA-20061 has been hard at work to kick off a good 2024-25 year!
Medication at School
Our GOAL is to keep students in school, healthy and ready to learn. It is very common for teenagers to suffer from headaches, menstrual cramps, orthodontic or musculoskeletal pain during the school day.
Parents can complete the medication form any time during the school year. This form provides the school nurse permission to administer prescription or over the counter medication (ibuprofen, excedrin etc) to your student. Parents must provide a small unopened bottle of medication to keep in the clinic for the entire school year.
Download and complete the Authorization for Medication Administration Form. Please contact your school nurse, Mrs. Mount, if you have any questions at mountja@pwcs.edu or 703-743-3540

Attention Families - if you’re interested in a class ring, visit the Battlefield Class Rings website to purchase. Please contact Jostens with any questions 800-567-8367.
