Community News, Resources & Events
Family and Community Resource Center in need of donations
Battle Ground Public Schools’ Family and Community Resource Center helps meet the needs of families facing challenges. As a donation based program, the FCRC relies on our community to help fill the shelves and those shelves are emptying fast. Right now, they have severe needs for items including soap, hygiene products, socks, underwear and more.
View a list and information on how to donate by visiting the district website.
Student Resources
Did you know Battle Ground Public Schools has put together a list of student resources, from Chromebook basics to artificial intelligence, Google Classroom, and much more? We encourage all parents and guardians to check out the district’s parent resources webpage, including valuable information on managing technology at home, resources for digital citizenship, and setting up parental controls.
Safety Study Hall
Visit the Safety Study Hall website, a place for schools, students, and families to learn about safety topics.
Inclement Weather: Be sure to take a moment to check out the district's handy winter weather guide for information on late starts or school closures due to weather-related impacts. Please note, that the district is divided into “north” and “south” schools.
Report, don’t repost
If you see or hear of a possible threat, please report it to law enforcement directly and/or to school staff. This is the best and most helpful action because it begins an investigation and helps to limit the potential for misinformation to spread.
Reposting or sharing a threat on social media in an attempt to warn others spreads the threat farther from its original source and may cause unnecessary alarm and fear.
You can report bullying, intimidation, harassment, threats and safety concerns using our anonymous reporting system. Emergencies should always be reported to 911.
Safety protocols
Battle Ground Public Schools has joined other Southwest Washington schools and districts in using the Standard Response Protocol for emergencies. Depending on the situation, a school will be placed in a hold, secure, lockdown, evacuation or shelter. See what these terms mean. This common language helps schools, first responders and the community communicate clearly and effectively to reduce misunderstandings in emergency situations..
