Message from the Principal

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Last week, all of our students learned what it means to Be Empowered, Be Inclusive, and Be Kind through our beginning of the year kick off assemblies!  To help spread the message of our Core Values, please be sure to cheer along with your child:
 

Be Empowered is the first -

Let your confidence shine and burst!

 

To Be Inclusive is really fun!

Make sure to invite everyone!

 

The final one is to Be Kind - 

Use your friendly state of mind!


Please be reminded that every day counts at Bateman!  We need everyone here and on time!  We can only teach each of your children if they are present at school and we want to maintain our 96% attendance rate!  Right now, we are at 97% for the year - keep it up, Bateman!

Earlier today, we sent a note to the community informing everyone that there will be a Lockdown Drill on this Thursday, October 4th.  Be reminded that every grade level will be discussing this safety drill with their classroom at a developmentally appropriate level.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Finally, we would like sincerely thank all of our 118 volunteers who came to either Volunteer Orientation session!  We were in awe of the amount of parents who came to support our school.  So far this year, there are more teachers who have received support in the past month than all of last year!  How amazing for our teachers!  We truly could not do this work without our parent partnerships and are very excited to grow our volunteer model alongside each of you.  If you were not able to attend one of the sessions, spread the word that there will be a Volunteer Orientation Make Up Session on October 12th!  See details below.

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

Volunteer Orientation Make Up Session
Friday, October 12th at 8:30 am in the Auditorium


Are you interested in becoming a volunteer or field trip chaperone at Bateman?  All volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation. If there are more than 10 hours of time spent in the school, volunteers are considered a Level 1 and are required to have an updated Fingerprinting and TB Test, per CPS Policy.  We will have a "make up session" for all those who could not attend our initial Volunteer Training.  If you'd like to get a head start on the process, please visit the CPS Volunteer Program Page.  Also, check out our new Volunteer Central in Room 118!  

For the nearest fingerprinting location, Accurate Biometrics is located at 4843 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60630.  They are open Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm.
