Greetings Bearcat Families,
Welcome to our Battle Creek Central Family Newsletter! We will use this tool to share news, announcements, and upcoming events to support our commitment to clear, consistent communication.
This week, we have a few key announcements to share. We've shared these announcements through the weekly all-call and ask for your partnership in communicating with students at home.
- 💙 Welcome to the best school year yet! We are excited to work with Every Student, Every Dream, Every Day.
🍳 Class starts promptly at 7:30. Doors open at 6:50, and breakfast is served from 7:00 to 7:45.
📱 Cell phones must be put away from 7:30 to 2:40 every day. We appreciate your cooperation. This is now a state law.
💙 August 24 is our HHS/BEIT Open House from 4-6 at Battle Creek Central.
💛August 25 is our Freshman Academy Open House from 4-6 at Battle Creek Central.
✏️ Our first day of school is August 26. This is a half day.
🌠 We have four principals at BCC: Tyler Gilland, Executive Principal. Toni McClenney, HHS Academy Principal. Blake Nordman, BEIT Academy Principal, and Jihad Ford, Freshman Academy Principal.

📲 Please make sure the Welcome Center has your current email address, mailing address, and phone numbers. We regularly send out information about grades, absences, and upcoming events, and we want to ensure you have accurate information every week.
🔮 We hope all students will consider joining an after-school club or a sport. Some of our after-school clubs are: Bearcat News, Tabletop Gaming, Voices of Diversity, Magic Club, Robotics, National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Red Cross Club, Gender Sexuality Alliance, Maker's Club, Robotics Club, and Hispanic Heritage Alliance.
- ✋Attendance: Good school attendance is the first determinant of high school graduation. Students who miss 10% or more of school throughout the year miss out on significant class time and can quickly fall off track for graduation. Please help us support your children's success by ensuring they are in school on time daily.
