Welcome to 5th grade! My name is Mrs. Kate Battani, and I will be your child’s fifth grade teacher. I hope everyone had a safe and healthy summer! I am really looking forward to an exciting and productive school year working with you and your child.
To tell you a little about myself, I am a graduate of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. I received my Master’s Degree in Administration from Drake University in 1993. I have worked in Catholic schools for 31 years and will be starting my fifteenth year as a fifth grade teacher at Sacred Heart. I have a husband, Brad, and three sons. Anthony is a teacher at Clark of Osceola. Ryan, his twin brother, is the K-8 music teacher at St. Pius X Catholic School. Jacob graduated from UNI and is looking for his first job. My favorite pastimes are reading, boating, walking, and watching the Cyclones and Cubbies.
I care about the quality of your child’s education and promise that I will do my best to teach, encourage, and motivate the students in my class. Your phone calls and messages are important to me. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call 223-1284 ext. 202 or e-mail Kate.Battani@sacredheartwdm.org.
