View this email in your browser Message from the Principal Dear Bateman Families and Friends, We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and that everyone is staying safe in this winter storm! We have four weeks of school ahead of us until Winter Break - let's make them count!  This is a great time to remind everyone of guidelines for illnesses.  As a reminder, please keep your child home from school if they have a fever. If your child complains of a headache, sore throat, or stomachache, please take the time to assess the situation. Our guidelines are as follows: Your child should stay home if their fever is 100 or greater. Please don't administer an antipyretic such as Tylenol or Motrin to your sick child and then send your child to school. If your child vomits the morning of school or the night before, keep them home. Do not assume it's "something they ate".  Seek medical care outside of the school ennvironment. We truly appreciate your attention and assistance with this in order to keep Bateman a healthy school environment for all.   Please join us this Friday for our Dine to Donate event at Chuck E. Cheese's!  Details below! As always, thank you for staying connected and showing our community what it means to #BeBateman!   Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind Be Bateman!
