Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Welcome Back!  Nothing beats hearing the liveliness of the school after any type of break, but it has been especially heartwarming to hear learning and laughter in our classrooms once again!  We are thrilled to have schedules back to normal, see all of our families together, and instruction pick up right where we left off.  Some teachers have been discussing the strike and organized labor movements using developmentally appropriate texts, such as Click, Clack, Moo, Harvesting Hope, The Day the Crayons Quit, and Nelson Mendela, to name a few.   

We were just notified of alterations to the yearly calendar from the district.  Below, please find any changes regarding make up days from the strike

The upcoming days will remain as follows:

  • Friday, November 8th: No School (School Improvement Day)
  • Monday, November 11th: No School (Veteran's Day)
  • Wednesday, November 13th: No School (Report Card Pick Up Day)
The following make up days will be instated per CPS for student attendance:
  • Wednesday, November 27th
  • Thursday, January 2nd
  • Friday, January 3rd
  • Wednesday, June 17th
  • Thursday, June 18th
Below, you will find many exciting opportunities to engage as a community, such as Square 1 Arts Orders and Report Card Pick Up.  Your child's teacher will be reaching out this week to schedule a conference time.  We hope to see you in the building next Wednesday!  

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate

Upcoming Events at Bateman
These events are all within the next 2 weeks!
Square 1 Arts Orders
Right Now! Orders due November 19th

Square 1 art is a family focused fundraiser for Bateman’s visual arts classrooms!  Each PreK-4th grade student is currently working with their art teacher to create a work of art, and once completed you will have an opportunity to purchase their masterpiece on a variety of high quality products.  The focus of the fundraiser is the accomplishments of your student, which creates conversations between about their art at home, dialog regarding art decision and choice, as well as memorable keepsakes family members can’t resist. At the end of the fundraiser our student’s creativity has been affirmed, our parents have a lasting memory, and Bateman’s art department has raised valuable funds.

Free shipping will be included on orders placed in the first two weeks. Ms. Tambone and Ms. Chrisman will bring all orders directly to each homeroom teacher and student to ensure their keepsakes make it home safely.  Bateman will receive 33% of the profits made from our school’s order and that money will be used to purchase supplies such as oil pastels, acrylic paint, canvas, and other classroom consumables.

For more information regarding Square 1 Art, go to www.square1art.com or ask Ms. Chrisman or Ms. Tambone.
