Our top priority at Battle Creek Public Schools is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Each of our schools is equipped with multiple layers of student support, from our caring teachers to trained counselors and other support staff who are there to identify students in need and offer them a listening ear or help with managing their emotions. We are also grateful for community partnerships with organizations like Grace Health, Bronson, and Summit Pointe, who are available for further student support.
In addition to on-campus resources, our community partners are dedicated to supporting the BCPS community. We’ve compiled the following list of resources from local groups that all BCPS students and families can access. Please refer to this guide if you are in need of any assistance.
