Salutations Bearcat Familles,
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.

- 🔮 We hope all students will consider joining an after-school club or a sport. Some of our after-school clubs are: Voices of Diversity, Magic Club, Robotics, National Honor Society, Craft Club, Science Olympiad, Red Cross Club, Gender Sexuality Alliance, NAACP Heritage Quiz Bowl Team, and Hispanic Heritage Alliance.
- ✋Attendance : Une bonne assiduité à l'école est le premier facteur déterminant pour l'obtention d'un diplôme de fin d'études secondaires. Les élèves qui manquent 10 % ou plus d'heures de cours au cours de l'année perdent beaucoup de temps en classe et peuvent rapidement perdre le chemin de l'obtention de leur diplôme. Aidez-nous à favoriser la réussite de vos enfants en veillant à ce qu'ils soient à l'heure à l'école tous les jours.
