Hello BPS101 Family-
Celebration!
Congratulations to Batavia High School Class of 2023 graduate Giuseppe “Joey” Monty, winner of a 2023 National Student Production Award (NSPA) in the Editor category. This is the student equivalent of a Grammy Award! Check out the story, including a link to his work and the classroom reaction video HERE>>
Parent Input Request
You are invited to participate in the parent survey supplement of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. We guarantee that survey responses will never be connected to the identity of you or your child. School reports will only show aggregated information on how parents and students responded as a whole. Please visit http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent to take the parent survey.
Parent Vision Session – Strategic Plan Development Process
Superintendent Tom Kim is looking for parents to join him in a Parent Vision session to share their ideas about the future of BPS101. The session will be conducted on Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 8:15-10:15 AM. If you are interested, please RSVP by February 24th. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE PARENT VISION SESSION

Batavia Music Buffs
Save the date for two fabulous fundraisers to benefit the Batavia Music Buffs! Saturday, April 20th, is our annual Mattress Sale at Batavia High School. If you know a Batavia Music Student, be sure to get a flyer from them before you shop the sale. If you make a purchase and use the flyer, that student will receive a percentage of your purchase directly into their Charms account. The following day, Sunday, April 21st, will be our Annual Trivia Night Fundraiser. Tickets will be available in March, but we are currently seeking donations for raffle baskets and a silent auction. If you own a business or have new items to donate, please contact Ways and Means chair Holly Miller at vpwaysandmeans@bataviamusicbuffs.org. If you are a season ticket holder or you own a vacation property that you might not be using this year, please consider a charitable donation to the music buffs. Alternatively, we could also use monetary donations to help purchase a few big ticket items. All donations are tax deductible.
