Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Congratulations to our entire school community for a wonderful start to the school year! We could not have asked for a smoother first quarter. We recognize how many factors contribute to ensuring our students begin the school year feeling supported, heard, and challenged, including but not limited to our educators' thoughtful planning and enthusiasm and our parents' and caretakers' partnership. We thank you for choosing to be a part of Bateman!

An extra thank you to those who were able to join us for the first in person Showcase in several years! We were blown away by the large number of you who attended and could feel the amount of pride beaming from everyone in the building! Please enjoy the snapshots from yesterday's Quarter 1 Showcase and continue to celebrate your child's progress!

Report Cards will be printed and distributed this Wednesday, October 26th. Teachers have been busy coordinating conference times with families and look forward to productive conversations.

We are certain of continued success in Quarter 2! Please keep in mind that Quarter 2 brings new Essentials - make sure to check your child's schedule for Monday - and many opportunities to engage as a community. It is also the start of our WIN (What I Need) time across the school. If you can contribute any items from the K-2 Play-based Wish List, we would greatly appreciate it!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Warm regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
