Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

There are many things to celebrate with our entire community! First and foremost, for all who celebrate el Día de los Muertos, we wish you a wonderful day honoring those who have gone before you. Some of our students have created beautiful ofrendas in their classrooms. Please take a moment to look at them below!

A HUGE thank you to all of our families for attending BOOOsterfest on Saturday! We are filled with gratitude for all of the parent volunteers who made the event possible and a special thank you to Kjirstin Glessner and Monica Zilz for leading and coordinating the spooktacular day of fun!  The event further showed the strength of our community coming together - not a single face was without a smile!

Report Card Pick Up Update

As a friendly reminder, there is no student attendance on Wednesday, November 17th. Teachers are creating sign ups and will be emailing families to sign up for a designated time to discuss your child’s progress. 

 

Promotion Policy Update

On September 22, 2021, the Board adopted a Resolution to the district’s Elementary Promotion Policy for the 21-22 school year. Under the resolution, promotion for students in benchmark grades 3, 6, and 8 will be determined based on the student’s academic performance as reflected in final grades in Reading and Mathematics and will not take into account any assessment scores. Students with final failing grades in Reading and/or Mathematics for both the 21-22 school year and the 20-21 school year will be required to successfully complete summer school to be promoted to the next grade level.  Hard copies of the 2021-2022 School/Parent Guide to the Elementary School Promotion Policy will be delivered to schools the week of November 8th to be distributed during Parent Teacher Conferences.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership as we enter a new month and new quarter full of many ways to #BeBateman!


Sincerely,

Ms. Davos and Ms. Kloepper
