Dear Bateman Families & Friends,

We hope you have enjoyed the first three days of Summer Vacation! We know we mentioned that the last Buzz would be our final message but could not wait to share important updates with our families regarding the 2021-2022 school year.

Dear Bateman Families & Friends,

We have officially begun our final full week together - and what a week! This week is packed with celebrations, fun countdowns, memory book making, and more! When we think back to the 2020-2021 school year, we know we will smile and be reminded of how much we can overcome when we work together as one community.

On Friday, we will be sending our 8th Graders onto the next steps of their educational journeys. We know that they will continue to carry all they have learned from their time at Bateman with them wherever they go!  

       
As we wind down this school year and prepare for next, we invite you to provide us feedback. As a school, we are incredibly reflective and take all feedback into consideration. Please let us know your successes, challenges, and recommendations moving forward in the End of the Year Parent Survey! Additionally, mark your calendars for back to school events for the 2021-2022 school year! [See the full school calendar here in English and Spanish]

If you are able, please join in one of the options to support our school tomorrow evening! You can celebrate in your pajamas during the Virtual Pajama Party Fundraiser, order food from one of two dine to donates (Twisted Hippo or Bellonas Pizza), or bid on an exciting item in the Online Auction. 

Next week will be our final Buzz of the year. Included in the message will be a Bateman Feedback Survey, a preview into Back to School events for next year, and the link to order Supply Lists directly from School Toolbox. You can find supply lists for next year below if you would like to get a head start!

Dear Bateman Families, 

Please see below for an important message from Chicago Public Schools. As always, we invite you to contact us directly with any questions or concerns. We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Best regards,
Georgia & Kate

Our school year is winding down, and we're sure that you and your children are looking forward to the summer break. But planning is already well underway for the fall, and we need your partnership to make our vision for next school year a success. 

Please take a few minutes now to complete the Fall 2021 Survey at cps.edu/FamilySurvey; it is also available in Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Urdu, and Arabic. CPS will be welcoming students back to the classroom five days a week, and we need your feedback to help shape what next school year will look like.  This survey is completely anonymous, and responses need to be submitted by Friday, June 18.

Keeping your children healthy and safe is always our top priority, so we want to know what steps (masks, social distancing, etc.) will be most important to you moving forward. This survey will also help the district understand how we can better support you, and will let us know how you would prefer to receive updates (email, social media, etc.) as plans for the new school year continue. 

This survey is not an opt-in form for in-person learning. It is just a tool to help us check in with families as we make plans for the new school year. The vast majority of CPS students WILL attend school in person this fall, but CPS is working on a remote learning option for children who cannot return due to medical reasons. More information on this plan will be shared with families soon.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

Nuestro año escolar concluirá pronto, por lo que estamos seguro de que usted y sus hijos están esperando ansiosamente para las vacaciones de verano. Ya hemos empezado la planificación de la reapertura de otoño, y necesitamos su colaboración para que nuestra visión para el nuevo año escolar sea un éxito. 

Por favor, tómese unos minutos ahora para completar la Encuesta sobre la reapertura de otoño en 2021 haciendo clic aquí (en español). CPS recibirá a los estudiantes nuevamente en las aulas cinco días a la semana, y necesitamos sus comentarios para que nos ayude a dar forma a lo que será el próximo año escolar. Esta encuesta será completamente anónima y deberá enviarla antes del viernes 18 de junio.

Mantener la salud y la seguridad de sus hijos es siempre nuestra máxima prioridad, por lo que queremos saber qué medidas (uso de la mascarilla, el distanciamiento social, etc.) serán más importantes para usted en el futuro. Esta encuesta también nos permitirá conocer las mejores maneras en que podemos apoyarle, y los métodos como prefiere recibir actualizaciones (correo electrónico, redes sociales, etc.) durante el transcurso de la planificación.

Esta encuesta no es un formulario para optar por las clases presenciales, sino una herramienta para 

conectar con las familias sobre asuntos relacionados con esta planificación. La gran mayoría de los estudiantes de CPS asistirán a la escuela de manera presencial este otoño, pero CPS está trabajando para también ofrecer una opción de aprendizaje remoto a los niños que no pueden regresar por razones médicas. Próximamente se compartirá con las familias más información sobre ello.

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para completar esta encuesta.

Dear Bateman Families & Friends,

We are officially in the final month of our school year together - a month that brings us all a heightened sense of  encouragement. Encouragement that we are moving towards a more normalized way of life; that we are able to host an in person celebration for our 8th Grade Graduates; that we have the opportunity to welcome prospective families to our school community; and that we can spend an extra moment in the warmer weather.

We are continuously encouraged by the commitment of our students, staff, and community to our wonderful school and have been given a great opportunity to come together in a very unique and special way. Please join us in supporting the Bateman experience for all students by participating in the Virtual Pajama Party Fundraiser on Tuesday, June 8th! The virtual auction is officially open now until June 15th! Check out nearly 100 items to bid on! 

We hope to see you at the virtual Pajama Party Fundraiser!

Our best,
