Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We hope you all had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!  We are thrilled to come back to three full weeks of school together leading up to Winter Break.  This is a critical time to ensure students are on track and growing academically.  Please be mindful of the following key pieces to ensure your child(ren) make the best of this time:

Attendance: Our educators cannot do their jobs effectively without your child(ren) at school!  Please do your part in creating a routine that best supports your family to be at school on time each and every day.

Health:  As the flu season approaches, please remind your child(ren) of the importance of hand washing to keep germs to themselves!  If you have any spare clorox or lysol wipes, our classrooms will gladly accept the extra help to keep our classrooms germ free!

We know this is a very exciting time of year for our community and hope that you'll be able to join us for the many upcoming celebrations.  Please see below for save the dates for Winter Assemblies and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the most up to date reminders!

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
