Dear Fannie Family,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! This school year is all about Lights, Camera, ACTION! I am so excited to begin this new year with all the returning and new families, and, of course, faculty/staff members who make up our Fannie Family.

The beginning of the year is always exciting for me because it provides us the opportunity to reflect and start anew. We are welcoming about 10 new faculty/staff members, scores of new families to our school, new curricula, and new opportunities to develop and enrich the young minds entrusted to us. Our new five year charter contract begins this year, allowing us the opportunity to set the academic bar high! Together we will ensure our students are growing academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we will develop our skills here as educators and with our VIP (Very Important Parents,) activities spearheaded by the Parent Resource Center) we hope to help you enhance your parental skills.

Together, we will work diligently to develop your son or daughter into a productive citizen, prepared to take on the challenging 21st century! We have the cast of characters to ensure that this happens! Parents, we need you to make sure your Warriors are prompt, polite, prepared, and productive each day of school year. Always encourage them to do their best. Once here, we will do all we can to ensure they are receiving the best education possible.

I can’t wait to see your child(ren) on August 4, 2025 (Grades 1-8) or August 11, 2025 (Pre-K & Kindergarten) for the first of 166 days of preparing them for their amazing futures. As always, thanks for entrusting your most prized possession–your child–to us here on Bullard!

Sincerely,
Kelly S. Batiste
Principal/CEO
