Back to School Reminders

Bateman Student & Parent Handbook
Educators will be reviewing updated policies and routines with students throughout this week. We encourage you to read the Student & Parent Handbook to familiarize yourself and reinforce the expectations at home. Teachers will be reviewing specific portions of the Handbook at Curriculum Night. Please pay special attention to the Homework Policy and the Cell Phone Policy.
 

Submitting an Absence
Please utilize the E-Absence feature in Aspen and notify your child's teacher prior to the start of the school day. You can now submit, schedule, and track student absences through the Aspen Parent Portal. That means no more making last-minute phone calls or completing paper forms.

E-Absence joins a collection of Aspen features designed to make accessing important student information simple for parents and guardians. You can sign in to your account at ASPEN.CPS.EDU and start using the E-Absence feature today. You can also learn more at Aspen E-Absence FAQs.

Early Dismissals
If you need to dismiss your child(ren) earlier than 3:15pm, please see the locations below. All early pick ups will need to provide proof of identification and must be on the child's contact list in Aspen.

• North Office (Door 1): If you need to take your child to a scheduled Doctor's Appointments or any other early dismissal, please use the North Office.
• South Office (Door 4): If you receive a call from the Nurse for a sick pick up, please use the South Office.
