Bateman Buzz 2021-2022; VOL 13 BATEMAN WEBSITE   |  TRADUCIR ESTA PAGINA  |   TEACHER WEBSITES   |  CONTACT US Message from Administration Dear Bateman Families and Friends, We were thrilled to finally open the playground last week to our community. All pieces were fixed on Friday and it has brought us so much joy today to see the excited cheers from students. Looking into the next two weeks, the forecast is showing quite a few inconsistencies in temperatures. Please remember to send your child to school dressed accordingly so we can continue to participate in outdoor play. In the event we have inclement weather causing indoor recess, we are seeking donations of gently used board and card games to utilize per grade level. All donations will be collected in the North Office. Please ensure all pieces are included in the game so students can continue to practice problem solving skills inside! Preschool Applications open on April 19th! We invite all prospective preschool families to attend an in-person school tour on Thursday, April 7th at 9am. Space is limited to the first 20 adults. Please sign up here! We would appreciate a limited attendance of one parent/caretaker to accommodate more interested families. As Quarter 3 comes to a close next week, we wish you and your family a well rested and peaceful Spring Break! Quarter 4…here we come!
