Message from the Principal
Dear Bateman Families and Friends,
 

The holiday season is upon us!  We look forward to seeing everyone throughout the day on Wednesday, December 19th for our annual Winter Assemblies!  If you are feeling extra festive that day, please join our community at the Kedzie Inn at 7:30 pm for our Holiday Parents' Night Out. 10% will be donated back to our school!  Hope to see you all there!

One of our main goals at Bateman is to make sure all of our students are meeting and exceeding the Common Core State Standards. Teachers are using data gathered from NWEA/MAP testing to differentiate their lessons and to drive their instruction. Our winter assessment window for NWEA/MAP will take place during the months of December and January. Please reach out to your child's teacher to know when your child’s homeroom is scheduled for math and reading for 3rd - 8th grades. For more information about the NWEA/MAP assessment, you can visit www.nwea.org. With everyone working together, we know that all of our students can meet their growth goals in the months ahead!

Just a reminder that during the winter months, all of our students will have normal arrival and dismissal and go out for recess whenever possible. We will be checking the temperature on www.weather.com. It is imperative that our students are dressed in weather appropriate attire. If you are able, please consider donating a pair of dollar store gloves. 
 

Have a safe and joyous winter break!!

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

8th Grade High School Applications Due
Friday, December 14th


Applications can be modified up until the Dec. 14 deadline. You may want to add/delete a program on your application, or you may want to change the ranking of the programs to which you’ve applied. If you applied using the online application site, you can simply log into your account and make those changes. If you applied via paper application, you will need to request an Application Modification Form from the Office of Access and Enrollment. Contact them at 773-553-2060 or gocps@cps.edu.  It is extremely important that you rank the programs you are applying to in your true order of preference. This means that the program you want to attend most should be ranked first and the one you want to attend least should be ranked last.  To see your preferences, please Check My Program Rankings.
