Dear Bateman Families & Friends,
We hope you have enjoyed the first of our two CARE Days. As you know, we are Committed for All to feel Recharged & Energized!
The holiday season has arrived and we are grateful to all of the families who have generously donated to support our community. Even though we continue to work, learn, and live remotely, it is through your kind words and actions that we remain connected as one Bateman Family. Wishing you more relaxation in the days ahead and a very Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
Please keep in mind that all CPS buildings will be closed from Wednesday, November 25th - Friday, November 27th, including food distribution. Please come to the Sacramento side of Bateman today or tomorrow to pick up 5 days worth of meals! The full Remote Learning schedule will resume on Monday, November 30th from 8:15am - 3:15pm.
Warmly,
Georgia & Kate
