Bateman Broadcast

Buenos dias, Bateman students, parents and staff! 
Today is Friday, April 17, 2020.

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,
 

You did it! You made it through our very first week of Remote Learning! Our educators have been working tirelessly to provide meaningful, differentiated instruction for each of our students but we recognize that there is no way we could accomplish this work without each of YOU!

 

We want to take a special moment to say Thank You for the hard work you are pouring into your children right now.  We know that no two families are experiencing the same thing throughout this pandemic. This is a very unique time that comes with a myriad of emotions.  Some of you may be experiencing loss, balancing new work schedules, trying to teach your children, and much more. Trust us - we see you. We hear you. We’re feeling it, too.

 

That being said, we want to give each of you a big “A” for such a successful first week. You each deserve an A for:

  • Helping us achieve over 95% engagement with our students!

  • Picking up technology from the school!

  • Reading a book with your child!

  • Encouraging your child to play outside!

  • Responding to your child’s teacher!
  • Giving your child (and yourself!) a break when things get overwhelming!
 

Speaking of grades…

We acknowledge that you are receiving communications from the district around grading policies and we’ve been addressing these initiatives with our teacher teams to ensure they understand what grading looks like for Bateman.  Rest assured, Quarter 3 grades at Bateman are only representing your child’s progress up to March 17th and the work that students have been completing remotely will only help their grades.  We know that no grade right now is truly reflective of content mastery and want to ensure you that there is more communication forthcoming.

 

What to expect for next week:

  • Teachers will be reaching out to set up a time to check in with you for Report Card Pick Up on Wednesday, April 22nd via sign up genius or google forms

  • Many grade level teams are surveying families and students to check in on the workload of Week 1

  • You will receive next week’s Remote Learning Plan from your child’s teacher by Monday morning

  • Specials Plans will be emailed to you by your child’s teacher and links will be provided in Monday’s Broadcast again

  • There will be no plans for Wednesday, April 22nd to reserve the time for Report Card Pick Up

 

Please take the time to reach out to your child’s teacher if you need anything at all.  We are all to work together and support one another.

 

We encourage you to try some of these fun weekend activities, shutdown the technology for a bit, and enjoy time together.

 

Warmest regards,

Georgia & Kate

Happy Birthday!
We would like to wish a "feliz cumpleaños" this weekend to...
