2/15/2017

Bateman Elementary is aware of the protests planned for the National Day Without Immigrants tomorrow, Feb. 16. At Chicago Public Schools, it is a priority to provide a welcoming, safe and positive place to learn for students every school day, no matter where they were born or what their immigration status. We respectfully request that parents and guardians ensure that students attend school tomorrow so that they can learn and continue to grow as the next generation of leaders, as well as avoid an unexcused absence. We appreciate your support.

Le pedimos respetuosamente a los padres y tutores legales que se aseguren de que sus estudiantes concurran a la escuela mañana, para que puedan aprender y continuar creciendo como la próxima generación de líderes, y que eviten una ausencia injustificada. Apreciamos su apoyo.

Message From Our Principal

2/14/2017

Dear Bateman Families,

CPS rolled out a budget "freeze" for all school last Monday, which resulted in a loss of $206,334 for Bateman (2.71% of its total 2016-2017 budget). The amount for each school was based on remaining funds available from all school budgets. These cuts are due to the current CPS budget deficit along with the state not coming through with the $215 million that was promised. At this moment, we have a minimum budget to work with for the rest of the school year. Despite the mid-year challenges, Bateman will move forward and stay strong for our children.

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sincerely,
Georgia Davos-Vetas
