Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families & Friends,


Thank you for your overwhelmingly positive feedback from the parent survey. We are grateful for your insights and appreciate your honest recommendations as we remain committed to continuous improvement. It is evident that we are all here to support our students to succeed. There will be many opportunities for further feedback from parents and in the upcoming weeks, our teachers will be administering a school wide student survey to ensure our student voices and feedback are elevated.

We've witnessed strong classroom communities established, as well as true partnerships being formed between students, parents, and teachers. This week, you will notice an even greater initiative for small group instruction. Many teachers will be gathering data on an individual basis that will be utilized to further inform instruction. We encourage you to refrain from assisting your child during small group time. It is sometimes difficult to hold back or see your child struggling -  as parents ourselves, we completely understand - but it is often these times that provide a true sense and direction for the teacher!

We congratulate each of your efforts to ensure your child is fully present during learning time with minimal distractions. As a friendly reminder, the expectation for daily attendance is that students are present during synchronous time with video cameras on. Further attendance updates are included below.

Thank you for all you continue to do to #BeBatemanSTRONG!

Warmly,

Georgia and Kate

We are Ready for Week 3!

Attendance Updates

What is the process to notify the school of an absence?
Please notify the school daily for any anticipated absence. The process is a two step process:
  1. Email your child's teacher(s), including CCing all co-teachers and the essentials teacher for the week so that teachers know who to anticipate in class that day.
  2.  Complete an Absence Form on the Bateman Website to indicate the reason for the absence. This will assist in processing an excused or unexcused absence for your child.

Homework Updates

Will my child be receiving homework during Remote Learning?
As a school, we recognize the amount of energy that Remote Learning requires. We have come to the decision that no additional assignments will be made at this time for homework. Assignments should be completed during the synchronous and asynchronous times during the day; however, if a child does not complete the assignment during instructional time, the teacher may ask for it to be completed after school hours.

Supporting Our Families
Ongoing


The pandemic has impacted families on multiple levels. As one school community, we are encouraged by the amount of families that have reached out to support one another. Since we cannot see one another on a daily basis at drop offs and pick ups, it is important for open communication, especially when families are in need of support. Please indicate whether your family is in need of support or if you are a family who can provide support. Further information and next steps will be forthcoming once we receive sufficient responses from families.
Back to School Forms
DUE: Wednesday, September 23rd 


Please make sure to complete your Back to School Forms! All forms must be submitted to the North office in person OR via email to [email protected] by Wednesday, September 23rd. Preschool Families do not need to complete these again. Please click here for all forms and further information.
 

Virtual Curriculum Night
Wednesday, September 23rd from at 5:30 pm

Curious what your child will be learning this year? In order to accommodate all families, pre-recorded videos from our educators will be posted to the Bateman Website at 5:30pm.

Watch the videos at your convenience to learn more about the exciting curriculum in the year ahead!
