Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


We are thrilled to announce that our After School Program Registration is open now!  All registration and preference guides should be completed through the Bateman Website.  If you have trouble accessing the preference forms, there are paper copies located now in the North Office.

As we fall in to the swing of our morning routine, we would like to provide a few reminders to ensure that everyone's day starts smoothly:

  • Please utilize the Kiss 'n Go to keep traffic moving.  A volunteer will open your child's door so you can continue on your way!
  • Please avoid parking in the alley or in the middle of the street.  This causes a safety concern and stops traffic for other community members trying to get to work!
  • Please make sure to thank our volunteers in the morning as they help all students begin their school day with a smile!
We appreciate your attention to these items in the morning! 

We also hope to see everyone at our very first Movie in the Park on Friday, September 27th!  Bring blankets and snacks as we all enjoy the movie Coco to celebrate the first month of school!  The event is free for all Bateman Families and proceeds from popcorn sales will benefit our 8th Grade Washington D.C. Trip!  We know this will be a great way to bring the entire Bateman community together!
 

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate

Room Parents Needed!

Room Parents may help: 

  • coordinate volunteers

  • maintain and promote a class supply wishlist

  • organize room parties, field trips, donations and fundraisers

  • communicate with homeroom parents as needed

If you are interested in being a Room Parent for your child’s classroom please contact jennifergrunstad@gmail.com to receive more information.

Square 1 Arts Orders
Right Now!

Square 1 art is a family focused fundraiser for Bateman’s visual arts classrooms!  Each PreK-4th grade student is currently working with their art teacher to create a work of art, and once completed you will have an opportunity to purchase their masterpiece on a variety of high quality products.  The focus of the fundraiser is the accomplishments of your student, which creates conversations between about their art at home, dialog regarding art decision and choice, as well as memorable keepsakes family members can’t resist. At the end of the fundraiser our student’s creativity has been affirmed, our parents have a lasting memory, and Bateman’s art department has raised valuable funds.

Free shipping will be included on orders placed in the first two weeks. Ms. Tambone and Ms. Chrisman will bring all orders directly to each homeroom teacher and student to ensure their keepsakes make it home safely.  Bateman will receive 33% of the profits made from our school’s order and that money will be used to purchase supplies such as oil pastels, acrylic paint, canvas, and other classroom consumables.

For more information regarding Square 1 Art, go to www.square1art.com or ask Ms. Chrisman or Ms. Tambone.
