Hello Early Childhood Families,
Welcome back from Winter Break! I hope that everyone had a wonderful break and that you are excited for the 2nd half of the school year. Even though, we still have half a year to go, planning is already underway for the 2024-25 school year and I have provided some information below in reference to that.
Planning for the 2024-2025 school year

If you need help
BPS101 staff are here to help and support students in academic, social, and emotional learning. Sometimes, the support we provide may need to extend outside our building.

We are Hiring!
Are you or anyone you know a nurse ready for a change in your work environment? If so, we have amazing opportunities for you. Join our health services team at Batavia Public Schools and help shape the future for students. You would be helping students stay healthy, safe, and achieve 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. This would allow you to work when needed. The other opening is for a permanent RN sub position. This would be 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 positions open at BPS101, please visit our Human Resources Department page on our website.
PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY roadway signs are available for residents and businesses to post on their property. The signs are an effort to provide a visual reminder to drivers to be careful in the warmer months, and the beginning of school, when more bicyclists and pedestrians are sharing the road. The signs are available at Batavia City Hall, 100 N. Island Ave., the BPS101 administrative offices, 335 W. Wilson St., the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., and the Batavia Park District administrative offices, 327 W. Wilson St.
