Principal's Message
Dear Parents/Guardians,
On by behalf of the staff at Baturyn School, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students and their families.
Baturyn School is a positive, nurturing learning community focused on the success of all students. Our staff is committed to providing rich learning experiences and the best possible programming to enable all students to learn, grow and achieve. High standards for academic success and positive student behavior are emphasized at Baturyn.
The education of our children is a partnership between home, school and the child. For students to be successful in their learning, all members of the partnership must work together. Parents are an integral part of the learning team and a key element in the success of children in school. We welcome parent involvement. With parental participation and support, the very best learning experiences are created for children.
Schools, like homes, rely on communication to establish and maintain relationships. Our school handbook provides information about our school programs, activities, policies, and procedures. A school newsletter is sent home with the oldest child in the family on the last Friday of each month. We also encourage families to utilize Schoolzone, a secure on-line tool desined to provide Baturyn parents and students with information about school events, activities and much more.
We look forward to working with you to provide the very best learning experiences for our students.
Karen Brown M.Ed
Principal
