Bateman Buzz; VOL 6

BATEMAN WEBSITE || TEACHER WEBSITES || CONTACT US

We had an incredible turn out on Report Card Pick Up day! It was so nice to see parents and teachers discussing student progress, celebrating their accomplishments, and setting goals for the remainder of the school year. We certainly value the partnership and investment in each child's education!

We are certain of continued success in Quarter 2! Students are all diving in to their Quarter 2 units and are eager to continue making progress towards their academic goals.

Since the time change has allowed us an additional hour of sleep, we should be well-rested and ready to come to school on time everyday. Please remember that classes begin at 8:00am and all students need to be ready for instruction. It is important for all families to plan ahead and make an effort to allow children time to transition to their classrooms. Doors open at 7:50am. We look forward to seeing all of our students on time and ready to learn!

Warmly,

Ms. Davos and Ms. Kloepper

Each organization plays a vital role in the success and strength of our school - consider becoming involved and sign up at the Back to School Bash!

Volunteer sign up will be on going throughout the year. If you plan to chaperone on a field trip, please sign up now to make sure you have been approved!
