Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

What a fantastic first week of school!  Everyone should feel so proud of themselves for such a smooth week that was accomplished only through the collaboration of parents, teachers, and students!  We are now into our second week and the daily routines of pick up, drop off, bus routes and student walkers are becoming smoother.  Our bus drivers are becoming familiar with their routes and parent pick up and drop off is going well. 

Thank you for following the directions of the volunteer traffic staff in the morning Kiss 'n Go.   Please be reminded that children should always exit your car at the curbside when an adult opens their door.  Traffic needs to continue in a smooth manner as we welcome over 900 students into our doors each morning.  

Please make sure that you plan your morning for a timely arrival!  Doors open at 8:05 am and instruction starts at 8:15am.  We want all students to begin their day in a positive way with their peers.  Each classroom that has "everyone here, on time" receives a letter to spell out ATTENDANCE, which, when completed, provides an extra recess for the class!  We appreciate your assistance in making sure your child is on time!

There are many upcoming back to school events that we would love for all to attend.  Please read the Buzz in its entirety for all of the exciting details!  Try these 3 tips to stay connected and informed:

1.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter! 
This is the quickest way for daily updates from the school!

2.  Add events to your own calendar from the Bateman website!
On each event, click on the "Add to my Calendar" button so you have easy access to upcoming events!

3.  Join a parent organization!
Sign up to volunteer and contribute to the many amazing events hosted by each of our parent organizations!

See all of the CPS Requirements here for the upcoming school year 

Get a head start on the Volunteer Process for the 2019-2020 school year!

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate

Open House / Curriculum Night
Wednesday, September 18th at 5:00 pm | Classrooms


This year's Open House is structured a bit differently!  To accommodate families with multiple children, we will be hosting curriculum night and open house in the same evening.  That way, you do not need to schedule two different evening events! 

Teachers will be presenting curriculum information two times - at 5:00 and 6:00 - so parents can be present at two different grades!  An Open House session will be in the middle so that parents can browse their child's classroom and see the wonderful work that has been happening so far!
