Message from the Principal

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Happy Spring! We are thrilled to see the sun shining and our students running around outside! Please remind your children about the importance of washing their hands so we can all stay germ free as the seasons change.

A big thank you to all parents who attended our Accelerated Model Think Tank session on Wednesday! WOW! We were so inspired by the conversation, quality feedback, and positive energy in the room. Your input will help us plan for upcoming years to ensure equity and endless possibilities for all of our students. If you were unable to attend the Think Tank Session, please join us for the next phase in this discussion at the Informational Forum on Wednesday, March 27th at 5:00pm. If you have a specific question that you would like answered at the forum, please submit your question ahead of time here.

Finally, we are amidst the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) testing sessions. 6th - 8th graders will be testing this week and 3rd - 5th graders are next week. Please make sure your child is getting a great night sleep and eating a healthy breakfast!

Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to see daily updates of all the exciting things happening at Bateman!

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!

All the best,
Georgia & Kate
