Message from the Principal
Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We are thrilled to share the great news, on behalf of the Bateman Boosters, that our Spring Fling raised over $20,000!  This a huge accomplishment that could not be done without the support and generosity of our neighbors, the commitment of our families to our wonderful neighborhood school, and the hard work of many parents to support the initiatives happening within the walls for our students every single day.  Our students will have endless opportunities to join the journeys of many characters, broaden their creativity, enhance their critical thinking skills, and prepare to make a positive impact on our society in the classroom library expansion that can now occur with this large donation to the school.  And who can't wait to fill up their water bottle at those new drinking fountains?!  We have so much to proud of as a school community and much to look forward to.

If you're still wondering what it means to #BeBateman, please join us in the many upcoming events.  The end of the school year is a very busy time.  As we say often at school, please "take the time to make the time" to be a part of any and all of the upcoming events.  Check the calendar often to stay up to date!

Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to see daily updates of all the exciting things happening at Bateman! 


Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
