Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Quarter 2 is quickly coming to a close in the next few weeks!  We will be wrapping up our units of study and can't wait to see all of the great student work in the upcoming days!  Students are gearing up to celebrate their learning and share all of their progress with the community on our Quarter 2 Showcase Day on February 4th!  Formerly known as investigation days, parents will be invited in to share in a celebration of learning with their children.  Teachers will be reaching out with further details in the upcoming weeks!  We hope everyone will be to join us!

Also...The flu season is here!  Please remind your children to wash their hands frequently and get a good night sleep!  If your child has a fever or is vomiting, please keep your child at home.  Students may not return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours (non-medicated).  If you have to give your child Tylenol or Motrin to "get through the day", please keep your child at home so they can get the proper rest needed to recover.  We appreciate you doing your part to keep everyone healthy at school!


Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
