Special thanks to neighborhood restaurants who made the luncheon possible: Conga Latinfood on E. Main, La Altena on W. Main, Carniceria Loa #7 at Broad and Main, and Taqueria Jalisco on Rossville Avenue. Fajitas, chicken tamales, beans, rice, and Mexican sodas were much appreciated!

Notes to Parents...

  • The safety and security of all our students and staff is a top priority at Battle Academy.   Please help us by following the procedures found in the Student/Family Handbook in your child’s AgendaMate: “ALL visitors are expected to check in at the main office and get a visitor’s badge.  Any parent wishing to visit classrooms during the academic day must be escorted to classrooms by an administrator.  Please let office personnel know if you wish to visit a classroom.”  In addition, please remember that all exterior doors are locked except those at the “Welcome” mosaic on the parking lot side of the building; visitors should enter through these doors and report immediately to the office.  It is very important that all persons in our building are accounted for at all times.
  • Please help our teachers maintain their schedules by recognizing that they are not available during instructional time, which begins promptly at 8:05am and continues until the dismissal bell rings.   Teachers will be glad to schedule a time to meet with you or conference with you by phone.

PLAYGROUND USE AFTER SCHOOL

Please remember that School Age Child Care uses our playgrounds between 3:30pm and 6:00pm.  Children not in SACC may not be on the playground during those times.  We appreciate your cooperation as we follow our guidelines; children not in SACC and their families are welcome to use the south end of our campus for after-school play.

"In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a mother or father who will attend those parent-teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child."

--President Barack Obama, 2/24/09

Parents, please look at our dress code on the Downloads tab and make sure your kids are in uniform each day. Undershirts, if worn, must be white; children wearing other colors will be asked to remove them. Shoes should be designed for a busy day rather than for fashion; it's a busy day in a big building and on the playground, so shoes must be tied at all times. Backless shoes, sandals, open-toe shoes, and boots are not allowed for safety reasons. Thanks for helping us! When jackets are needed, please remind your children that outerwear may not be worn outside their classrooms except at recess. Hooded sweatshirts are not allowed.
