Dear Bates,

Thank you to our PTO for a fabulous Pumpkin Fair last Saturday.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to have fun together as a community while supporting the Bates School and PTO.  Thank you to every volunteer and to all who came to enjoy the Pumpkin Fair.  Our PTO volunteers help Bates in so many ways throughout the year, including supporting a successful Picture Day this week.  We are so grateful for all of your support.

MCAS Parent / Guardian Reports 

Parents and guardians of students who took the Spring 2024 MCAS in Wellesley should receive their parent/guardian MCAS reports in the mail next week.  

Fall Conference Sign Up Links

As a reminder, conference sign up links were emailed on Wednesday.  If you have not done so already, please sign up for a fall conference with your child’s teacher.  We look forward to meeting with you soon. 

To those in our community celebrating Yom Kippur, I wish you an easy fast.  As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, Indigenous Peoples Day.  I hope you have a restful long weekend.

Warmly,

Toni
