Dear Bates Families,

As we say goodbye for the summer, thank you to all of our families for partnering with us in every way possible. Thank you to our PTO for the support you provide to our school community. We are so fortunate to have such an engaged and caring community that truly makes Bates a special place.

This year has been filled with incredible moments of learning, growth, and joy. We’ve watched your children discover new passions, build lasting friendships, and develop into remarkable young learners. We couldn’t have achieved all that we have without the dedication of our amazing teachers and staff, who have worked tirelessly to create meaningful learning experiences for each and every student.  

As a reminder, report cards are available at 3:00 pm today on the PowerSchool Parent Portal.  As you review your child’s report card, I hope you will take time to celebrate all the wonderful growth and achievements they’ve made this year.
