View this email in your browser Message from the Principal Dear Bateman Families and Friends, It is hard to believe Quarter 1 has come and gone.  We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at Report Card Pick Up to celebrate the great progress of each Bateman student.  Please see more details below.  We would also like to remind you that as long as the weather permits, students will continue to have outdoor recess.  Please be sure to send your child to school appropriately dressed for the cold weather.  Please send them with coats, hats, gloves, etc. and be sure all clothing items are labeled with your child’s name.   On behalf of the Bateman administrative team, we would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!  Please take time to enjoy having your children home with you next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  We look forward to seeing them back at school on Monday, November 26th. As always, thank you for staying connected and showing our community what it means to #BeBateman!   Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind Be Bateman!
