Coming up at Bates

Hi, Bates Family -

The PTA looks forward to seeing you tonight at Bates!  This year, students are discouraged from coming to make sure that parents are able to have quality time with each teacher without distraction. Students who do attend will be asked to bring a book to read in the Media Center.  This is also a great time to bring any gently used uniforms for the Uniform Store or books for the Media Center book exchange.

Starting at 6:30, the PTA will have a table to take memberships and sell the Get Smart car magnets.  Each paid member will receive a Bates PTA Handbook - a sort of guide to all things Bates.  If you'd like to fill out your membership form ahead of time, click here for the English version or here for the Spanish version.

The Volunteer Orientations have been added to the Calendar for September, as has the first Jazz Band rehearsal.  Here's an updated list of upcoming events:

* Sept 8 - 7pm:  Back to School Night
