Dear Bates,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy end of the first term at Bates.  I want to acknowledge the tremendous effort our educators put into creating our standards-based report cards. Teachers devote many hours to evaluating student work, consulting district resources that identify benchmarks for our grading indicators, and collaborating with colleagues to ensure consistency.  In addition, they put great care into writing thoughtful comments for each student.  Report cards will be ready for viewing in the PowerSchool Parent Portal on Friday, January 31 at 3:00 pm.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Excitement is building for the upcoming <\/span><\/span><\/span>Artstravaganza<\/span><\/span><\/span> on February 12.  While this event is new to all current Bates students, Artstravaganza was a beloved tradition in our community for many years, up until 2018.  To help students understand the street fair concept, we will discuss it further in class this week.  We encourage students of all skill levels to participate.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bPlease note that students who bring in artwork or creations will be encouraged  to stand near their display for a short period of time.  After this time students will be able to walk around and enjoy the rest of Artstravaganza, while adults supervise the displays to ensure they are admired safely.  If you have any questions, please share them with me or your child\u2019s teacher.  You can email me directly at: <\/span><\/span><\/span>jolleya@wellesleyps.org<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, for those members of  our community celebrating the Lunar New Year, I wish you Happy Chinese New Year!  As a reminder, there is no school on Wednesday in observance of the Lunar New Year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warm regards,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
