TIME IS RUNNING OUT, AND WE DESPERATELY NEED CHECK-IN VOLUNTEERS & PARTY CHAPERONES!!!
The 2023 Battle Ground High School Grad Night Foundation is looking for parent volunteers who are able to help with party events the night of graduation. We are hoping that parents of freshman, sophomores, and juniors would be willing to "pay it forward" so the parents of seniors can enjoy the graduation ceremony with their kids. Parents/Guardians of seniors are invited to help at the party as well! If you are willing to help with party check-in, or you would like to volunteer to be a chaperone at the party, please email us at bghsgradnight@gmail.com and we will get back to you with more details. Thank you for your interest and willingness to participate in celebrating the CLASS OF 2023!!
2023 Summer Extended Learning Opportunities
Dear families of Battle Ground Public Schools,
Keep your students' math and language skills sharp this summer with free, at-home extended learning options available through Battle Ground Public Schools. The district is providing options for students at all grade levels, and most are self-guided and designed to adjust to individual learning levels.
These online resources will generally be available from June 20 - July 31. Students in grades 6-11 will keep their Chromebooks over the summer. Primary and fifth grade students needing a Chromebook to access these programs may check one out by contacting the Student Help Desk. Student Google accounts will remain active through the end of July to allow access to these extended learning opportunities.
More information, including registration, is available on the district website.
