Dear Bates Families,
What a wonderful afternoon we had celebrating our Wellesley High School seniors during today’s clap out! It was heartwarming to see so many of our former Bates students return with their families, proudly wearing their red caps and gowns. Our current students were absolutely amazed and excited to see these “very big kids.” The entire celebration was truly special.
Celebrating our Bates Students
These last few weeks offer a number of opportunities to honor our current Bates students and celebrate their achievements. Wednesday’s Spring Concert was absolutely fantastic. Our band, orchestra, and fifth grade chorus delivered an outstanding performance that showcased all their hard work this year. Next week brings the excitement of Field Day along with the much-anticipated staff vs. fifth graders kickball game. Our final week will be particularly meaningful with the Fond Farewell ceremony honoring our fifth graders and their families, followed by the PTO Family Picnic and culminating with our Fifth Grade Clap Out.
It’s wonderful to have so many opportunities to come together as a community and celebrate our students’ growth and accomplishments.
Planning for Next Year: Classroom Section Update
As we finalize our plans for the 2025-2026 school year, the district continues to monitor enrollment numbers at each school and grade level. Based on current registration, Bates will have the following class sections next year:
I hope to share staffing updates and grade level teacher assignments prior to the end of the school year.
Have a nice weekend!
Warmly,
Toni Jolley
