Bates August Update

Dear Bates Families,

I hope this email finds you enjoying these final, sweet weeks of summer! I’ve had a busy summer preparing for the new school year at Bates. Much of my energy has gone toward growing our incredible team. I am excited to introduce our new faculty members:

*Over the summerJess Mead was hired to teach at Hunnewell. We wish her all the very best!

Along with these fantastic new team members, we welcome the following Wellesley teachers who will also be teaching part- time at Bates:

Finally, after head custodian Bob Hurley’s retirement in July, we were thrilled to hire Paulo Regis as our new head custodian. Paulo worked at Bates previously as the night custodian alongside Bob for seven years, so he is very well qualified to take on this new role.

As we prepare to head back to school, please keep these important upcoming dates in mind:

I’ll provide more details about these events in my next email. If you have any questions, please reach out to Bates secretary Megan LeBlanc or me at (781) 446-6260 or via email at wps-bates-office@wellesleyps.org or jolleya@wellesleyps.org. 

I hope you enjoy the last two weeks of summer. I look forward to seeing you at Bates soon.

Warmly,

Toni Jolley

Bates Principal
