Message from the Principal
Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

It was great to have everyone back today!  The polar vortex coudn't stop our amazing students from Being Bateman! 

We have some exciting announcements to share with you.

Our teachers have been hard at work with their data deep dives and curriculum planning sessions.  They have analyzed mid-year assessment data to strategically plan and support student learning outcomes. This analysis and planning will benefit our students as we enter the 2nd semester of the school year.   We look forward to great student academic growth!

On Wednesday, February 6th, our K-5 students will be participating in our annual mid-year Blaze Ways assembly.  Our assemblies always focus on positive SEL skills that the students can use on a daily basis.  This year, the students will be going on a journey with Mr. Blaze Ways as he learns how to identify his feelings. Make sure to ask your child(ren) about all the different ways they learn to identify and address their feelings. 

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


Have a wonderful week!

 

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind
Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
