We strive to see that your child does not 'get lost' at Bates Middle School. The Guidance Program and the team approach help ensure that each child is known well by at least one adult in the building. We encourage students to get involved in various clubs, organizations, and activities that are available to them. We believe that successful experiences each day at school are what makes students eager to return the next year. We seek to challenge each student academically.
Achievement is recognized and rewarded through several recognition programs.
We try to keep parents informed about student progress. Close two-way communication between parents and teachers alerts parents before minor problems become serious ones. We encourage parental involvement in the school through our PTSA and Parent Volunteer Program. We are committed to a quality education for your child. Your support and assistance are vital to this process to make Bates Middle School a good place for learning.
