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.
💻September 18 is a half-day of school as staff has professional development in the afternoon.
🏈September 25 is the Homecoming Parade and football game. The Homecoming Dance is on Saturday, September 26 from 7-11 in the high school gym. Come and join us!

📲 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: Yearbook Club, Tabletop Gaming, Culture Connect, Magic Club, Robotics, National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Red Cross Club, Gender Sexuality Alliance, Maker's Club, Robotics Club, and Freshmen Homework.
- ✋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 arrive on time every day.
