Report Safety Concerns Online
Battle Ground Public Schools uses the Online Tip Reporting System for the anonymous reporting of non-emergency safety matters (such as bullying, intimidation, harassment, abuse, assault, weapons or drugs). We cannot look into a concern if we do not know that it exists. The online reporting system is monitored only during school business hours.
Go to the Online Tip Reporting System to report non-emergency safety concerns.

Smash Brothers Tournament was a HUGE Success!
Tiger Wrestlers to the Rescue!
Over Thanksgiving break, Coach Johnson became aware of a family in need of help. A community member needed help moving her elderly parents, as the help they had previously arranged fell through.
The day before Thanksgiving, our team came to help. Over 25 wrestlers made short work of helping them move, and according to the community member, "My dad turned to me and told me that what had started out as one of the worst days of his life had turned into one of the best." She said our athletes were kind, loving, and respectful.
We are very proud of our student athletes and coaches. Thank you for representing our community and emulating servant leadership!
