The District Weekly for January 24, 2024
Hello BPS101 Family-
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have been navigating the weather over the past few weeks.
Many factors go into the decision making process. However, the overarching guiding principle is that learning happens best when students and teachers are in class together. Our schools also provide essential services for many of our students. If we believe it is safe to open, we will be open.
Batavia Special Education Parent Network (BSPN) Event Tonight!
BSPN invites you to join them for a conversation about Transition Planning – “I Graduated, Now What?” with Bryan Lindstrom, BPS101 Transition Specialist, on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, from 6:00 – 7:30 PM at the Rosalie Jones Administration Center, 335 W. Wilson Street, Batavia. For additional information and a list of upcoming events, please visit bspn-batavia.org.
Hiring: Nurses
Are you or anyone you know a nurse ready for a change in your work environment? If so, we have fantastic opportunities for you. Join our health services team at Batavia Public Schools and help shape the future for students. You would be assisting students in staying healthy and safe and achieving greatness at school. We have two openings within the district for licensed RNs. One would be per diem as an RN substitute for the district. The other opening is for a permanent RN sub position. It is a full-time position with the option to take benefits (medical, dental, vision, and a pension). You can work your student’s schedule – no weekends, holidays, or summers. To apply for these and all other open positions at BPS101, please visit our Human Resources Department page on our website.

Do you have a student who will be turning five by September 1, 2024, that you are considering entering into kindergarten at a BPS101 elementary school for the 2024-2025 school year?
