Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Happy New Year!  Each new year brings a new opportunity for new goals, challenges, and experiences.  Our students have been busy creating new goals for the remainder of the year to ensure their growth is continuous in their personal and academic life.  

Many take the new year to create a resolution based on healthy habits.  Luckily, Bateman students strive to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle each day through our Healthy Schools Initiative.  As a Gold Healthy School, let's all resolve to stick to our Wellness Policy:

Resolution #1: Celebrate with non-food treats!
At Bateman, we have two celebration days per year (usually Winter Celebration & end of the year) during which food is allowed.  Please celebrate all other events, including birthdays, with non-food items, such as pencils, etc!

Resolution #2: Pack a Healthy Lunch!
All students are able to eat the wonderful school lunch daily.  Students also have the option to bring a Home Lunch.  If your family chooses to send a Home Lunch, we encourage you to send healthy options on a daily basis.  Please remind your child that their food is only their own and not for sharing.


Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
