Message from the Principal

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We hope you are having a wonderful summer so far and are making memories with your children!

As you may know, this summer we have quite a few capital projects taking place at our school. The Bateman Playground will be closed starting on Monday, July 23rd to ensure the safety of all community members as our new turf is installed! We apologize for the inconvenience but are looking forward to seeing all of our students playing in this new space!

Also, please be on the look out for classroom assignments for the 2018-2019 school year in the beginning of August. You will receive a letter from the school with your child's homeroom and teacher.

Please be sure to check out upcoming events below, rest up, and have lots of fun together this summer! We look forward to seeing you at HornerFest tomorrow and on the first day of school, September 4th! As always, Be Bateman!

All the best,
Georgia & Kate
