Community Council Nominations are due Wednesday, May 15. Here is the info regarding Community Council from the email sent out last week
It is time once again to nominate community council members for the 2019-2020 school year. There are a total of 5 seats that need to be filled. This will be a 2 year position. Below is a statement that sums up what community council is all about. If you would like to take this opportunity to serve the Bates community please visit our school office or send in your nomination form attached to this email.
We have done electronic nominations in the past, but the state has indicated unless we have a secure district system for voting we need to do elections at the school.
Nominations will be accepted Monday, May 6-May 15. We will have forms in our office OR a form is attached to this email that you may ask your child to deliver to the office.
*In the event that we have more individuals willing to serve on our council then spots, voting to take place May 17-21
Opportunity Statement
The membership of a school community council includes the principal, teachers elected by teachers, and a majority of parents elected by parents of students at the school. It is their responsibility to plan and report on the usage of funds allocated to the school as part of the School LAND Trust Program. The plan the council writes focuses of the school’s greatest academic need (s). The most effective councils and committees are those whose members work collaboratively to develop plans to aid all students in reaching their potential.
Plans are approved by the local school board.
Council meetings are held a few times during the school year and are open to the public.
Sincerely,
Ms. Wright

This is a mass email we are sending to all parents and may not apply to your family if your child does not eat school lunch.
We are asking for parent help with an issue we are having regarding lunch accounts. We have a large amount of students who have a negative balance in their lunch account. Any students who owe $10 or more will be sent to collections after the last day of school on Friday, May 24th .
6th graders are not allowed to transfer to the junior high with any negative balances, therefore, any 6th graders owing any amount will be turned over to collections on the last day.
Lunch accounts can be checked either on the parent portal at myweber.wsd.net or by calling the office at 801-452-4580. Payments can be made on your portal account, by cash or check in the lunchroom or by card in the office.
Thank you for your help with this and for all you do to make Bates a wonderful school!
Sincerely,
Ms. Wright
