Dear Bates,

Teachers have really appreciated the time to meet with families for the fall conferences.  I hope you have found this time valuable as well.  As a reminder, there is no school on Monday in observance of Veterans Day.  Also on Wednesday the Bates grounds and playgrounds will be closed from 12:30 – 1:30 pm for the staff safety drill.

Lunch Delivery

Lunch deliveries to Bates are not permitted.  Please ensure your child brings lunch with them each morning if they are not participating in the school lunch program.  This policy helps us maintain a secure environment and minimizes disruptions.  We appreciate your cooperation as we work together to support a safe and productive school day.  

I hope you enjoy the long weekend.

Warmly,

Toni Jolley
