Sick Student Reminders

1/27/2023

 
*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*
BATEMAN WEBSITE   | TRADUCIR ESTA PAGINA  |   EDUCATOR WEBSITES   |   CONTACT US

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


The flu bug has hit us!  There has been a drastic increase in the amount of children becoming ill throughout the school day.  We have seen many cases of strep , flu, stomach viruses, and lengthy coughs. As a reminder, please keep your child home from school if they have a fever. If your child complains of a headache, sore throat, or stomachache, please take the time to assess the situation prior to sending them to school.

Our guidelines are as follows:

  • Your child should stay home if their fever is 100 or greater.
  • Please don't administer an antipyretic such as Tylenol or Motrin to your sick child and then send your child to school.
  • If your child vomits the morning of school or the night before, please keep them home. Do not assume it's "something they ate". 
  • Seek medical care outside of the school environment.
If your child comes down to the nurses office with any of the above symptoms, we will first ask them to put their head down, drink water or eat something, or try to use the washroom. If they are still not feeling well, we will be calling to have an emergency contact pick up the child. We appreciate your prompt response as we have had several ill children in the building this week. 

As a friendly reminder, if a child is sent home from school, they must stay home the following day until they have cleared a full 24 hours fever-free or without any symptoms.
 

Thank you to all of our Bateman families who have been respectful of our students and staff by keeping their sick children home.

Have a wonderful week!


All the best,
Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


Happy 2023! We are excited for all that the new year brings to our community: continuing to re-build traditions, celebrating the ongoing accomplishments of our students, and setting new goals!

Today, we had the great privilege of recognizing all of our Quarter 2 Core Values Champions! Please help us congratulate our students who have continuously chosen to Be Inclusive!
 
    

Just as students are setting new academic goals based on their growth thus far, we encourage all families to set a goal to arrive on time for school. Instruction begins at 8:15am each day. School doors are open for all to enter at 8:05am to ensure students have time to transition into their classroom seamlessly. The beginning of the day is critical for all students to check in with their friends and teacher, as well as to set the tone for their learning. We hope to see all students in the building next week by 8:15am! 

Again, a very Happy 2023 to all! We know this year will be filled with even more momentous celebrations and memories together in our wonderful community!

Warm regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper

Inclement Weather Update from CPS

12/21/2022

 
*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*
BATEMAN WEBSITE   | TRADUCIR ESTA PAGINA  |   EDUCATOR WEBSITES   |   CONTACT US

Dear CPS Families, 

 

We are writing to let you know that all CPS schools will be open tomorrow, Thursday, December 22, 2022. All students should arrive at school buildings as usual for a full day of instruction. 

 

However, as a reminder, all after-care and out-of-school-time activities have been canceled for Thursday, December 22 due to the forecasted weather conditions. Also, Thursday is the final day of classes before Winter Break, so students should not report to school on Friday, December 23.

 

Our Facilities Team will provide all children with a learning environment that is warm, safe, and dry, and will work as quickly as possible to clear snow from walkways and parking lots once it begins to fall.

 

We know that the weather conditions may make it difficult for some families to get their children safely to and from school tomorrow. Please be sure to take extra precautions, and if it is not safe for you to travel, please keep your child at home. Parents can use our new E-Absence system to report, schedule, and track excused absences.

 

Again, all CPS schools will be open for a full day of classes tomorrow, Thursday, December 22. Classes resume for all students on Monday, January 9.

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


Happy December! We hope that this month brings much joy to all families no matter what holiday you celebrate! Our students have been busy learning about inclusivity throughout the second quarter of school and are looking forward to showcasing their progress with a virtual showcase before Winter Break.

We hope you are able to join us as a community as we celebrate the season! Please see below for the many ways to volunteer, attend shows, and celebrate your child(ren)!


Finally, please help us in sending Ms. Anu Karavattuveetil off on her new adventure with loads of Bateman love! Ms. K has been with Chicago Public Schools for over 20 years instilling a love of science in our middle schoolers, leading with an empathetic heart, and keeping our students' best interest at the forefront of her daily decisions. Whether visiting preschoolers during career week (she was formerly a dentist!) or guiding our new teacher group, Ms. K is constantly seen as an example of caring and supportive teaching for our whole staff and will be dearly missed. We wish her a wonderful retirement with her beautiful family! Ms. K - you always have a home here at Bateman!

Warm regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
