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 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.
- 💵 Seniors can begin applying for scholarships through the Battle Creek Community Foundation on December 1.
- ❄️ Winter break begins on Saturday, December 20, and we return to school on January 5, 2026.
- 💻Ms. Bright is working online with seniors over winter break who need help with FAFSA, Common Apps, College Applications, and other postsecondary resources. Email her for a time slot.
- 🏀Join us for the Chuck Turner Field House Classic on December 27.

- 📲 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, 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.
