Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


We hope you have had a wonderful week! The end of the quarter brings much to recognize and celebrate. Our students have been busy preparing for the Quarter 3 Showcase, exemplifying the Core Value of Kindness, cheering on our teams, and showing their knowledge on various assessments.

At Bateman, we believe in strong parent partnership in order to support each individual child. Next week provides a unique opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher to continue a collaborative nature between home and school. All are invited to attend Report Card Pick Up on Wednesday, March 29th. It is a vital time to discuss your child’s progress throughout the school year, celebrate their accomplishments, and set goals for the remainder of the year. Educators have sent sign up sheets via email to all parents. We encourage you to sign up for a time that works best for you - either in person or virtual. 

At Report Card Pick Up, families will be able to peruse the Book Fair, find missing items from the Lost & Found, and check out Spring Spiritwear samples! We hope to see you there.

With Spring Break right around the corner, we want to take a moment to wish you a restful and fun week with your loved ones. We look forward to everyone returning to school with a rejuvenated spirit, ready to finish this year strong!

Best regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
