BATEMAN BUZZ | VOL. 38 BATEMAN WEBSITE   |  TRADUCIR ESTA PAGINA  |   TEACHER WEBSITES   |   REMOTE LEARNING Message from Administration Dear Bateman Families & Friends, We have officially begun our final full week together - and what a week! This week is packed with celebrations, fun countdowns, memory book making, and more! When we think back to the 2020-2021 school year, we know we will smile and be reminded of how much we can overcome when we work together as one community. On Friday, we will be sending our 8th Graders onto the next steps of their educational journeys. We know that they will continue to carry all they have learned from their time at Bateman with them wherever they go!           As we wind down this school year and prepare for next, we invite you to provide us feedback. As a school, we are incredibly reflective and take all feedback into consideration. Please let us know your successes, challenges, and recommendations moving forward in the End of the Year Parent Survey! Additionally, mark your calendars for back to school events for the 2021-2022 school year!
