View this email in your browser Message from the Principal Dear Bateman Families and Friends, What a great first day of school!  It was wonderful to see everyone back in the building!  Our teachers have been working tirelessly to make their classrooms inviting and full of engaging learning opportunities - many even had their own moms, dads, siblings and friends helping them gear up for the year! We would like to extend a warm welcome to several new staff members to the Bateman Family.  Ms. Elizabeth Hoff will be joining Diverse Learner Teacher Team, Mr. John Paul Ambrosio will be teaching sixth grade social studies, Ms. Jillian Fitzner will be teaching fourth grade, and Ms. Sarah Howland will be teaching second grade.  We are so excited to have you at Bateman! As we begin the new school year, please be reminded to make every day count at Bateman!  Families can set the expectation that school attendance matters from day one.  We want to see "All here! All on time!".  Doors open at 8:05 am and school begins at 8:15 am.  Students will be marked tardy after 8:25 am.   We know this is going to be the best year yet thanks to our amazing Bateman community!   Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind Be Bateman!
