Dear Bates Families,

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing PTO for their generosity and thoughtfulness during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Our staff was truly spoiled with delicious snacks, sweet treats, a wonderful lunch, and a fun raffle with many winners!  We all felt deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Attached is a flyer for an upcoming webinar with Dr. Elizabeth Englander titled “Keeping Your Child Safe at Home, at School, and Online.”  Dr. Englander is a nationally recognized expert on bullying, cyberbullying, and children’s use of technology.  She has previously shared her expertise with our WPS families, and I’m pleased to pass along this valuable opportunity being offered to families in the broader community.

Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers, and a relaxing weekend to everyone in our school community.

Warm regards,

Toni Jolley
