Winter Weather Advisory

Dear Bateman Families,

We are now in full swing of another Chicago winter. With the anticipated cold spell hitting tomorrow, weather forecasts predict a low temperature of -7 degrees, with a wind-chill low of around -25 degrees. In preparation for this prediction, please send your child to school appropriately dressed.  We have noticed many students, especially middle schoolers, who have been arriving to school without proper winter attire.  Please remind your children the importance of dressing warmly.

Things to keep in mind as cold weather continues:

-  School will be in session unless notified otherwise and student attendance is expected.

-  After school activities will be evaluated and may be suspended if these weather conditions persist.

-  All outside student activities will be suspended while under weather advisory.

-  Continuously check the Bateman Website and Social Media accounts for frequent updates.

-  Frequently tune in to your local news for school closing updates.

 

For tomorrow, Friday, January 25:

-  School will be in session.  See you tomorrow!

-  Movie Night is still scheduled to begin at 4:15pm.  Doors open at 3:45pm - hope to see you there!

-  After School Programs and Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club will continue as scheduled.



Please stay warm and contact the main office if you have any questions at 773-534-5055.

Message from the Principal
Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


We appreciate your flexibility and understanding in making different arrangements for after school today!  We hope everyone made it home safely and beat the winter storm as student safety is our top priority.

We are quickly approaching the end of Quarter 2, which signifies the mid-point in our academic school year.  Our teachers are spending full days planning and collaborating to prepare engaging learning experiences, analyze data, and grow professionally in order to ensure a successful Quarter 3.  Teachers are adding a social justice lens to their unit plans and are planning opportunities for students to take action in our world!  Their EMPOWERED units of study and our Quarter 3 #CoreValuesChallenge, with a focus on being KIND, will support Bateman students in exemplifying the Core Values daily.  Ask your child how they chose to be empowered, inclusive, or kind today!

In case you missed it in our previous Buzz, please be sure to take a moment and reflect in the middle of the year with us.  We need YOUR input to continuously improve the Bateman student experience!  Please click here to share your voice!


As always, thank you for staying connected and showing our community what it means to #BeBateman!

 

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind
Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
