Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend.  We have officially begun the second quarter and are looking forward to the tremendous learning that will take place! Our students’ work has been showcased in a myriad of ways and we are so proud of them! Keep an eye out for a special email in the near future to highlight their growth and accomplishments in their first quarter.

In order to continue the momentum from quarter 1, we met with teachers on Friday to reflect, plan and create tools to help kickoff a strong quarter 2. Our teachers spent a great deal of time thoughtfully planning and creating engaging, relevant, and meaningful lessons. It is critical that parents remain informed about their child’s learning targets for the quarter and updated on any goals that may have shifted during the first quarter. Please see below for Quarter 2 At-A-Glance per grade level so you know how to support your child as a partner in their educational journey. 

Thank you for all you continue to do to #BeBatemanSTRONG!

Warmly,

Georgia and Kate

Report Card Pick Up
 
How do I set up an appointment with my child's teacher for conferences?
Each Bateman teacher will be reaching out this week to schedule conferences. All conferences will take place virtually. As a reminder, this is a day of student non-attendance; however, students are encouraged to attend and participate in their conference.  If you have special considerations, please inform your child's teacher.



Report Cards
How can I view my child's grades prior to report cards?

All report cards will be mailed via USPS. Please ensure that your address is updated in the North Office with Ms. Rivera.  You will receive a Progress Check-In Reminder email each Sunday evening, beginning on October 25th. It is important for parents to continuously monitor student growth and grades. You will receive this email on a weekly basis as a friendly reminder to check Parent Portal.

We encourage all families to opt in to Parent Portal on Aspen to view your child's grades weekly. This helps foster clear communication between teachers, students, and parents in order to support each child's success. Please visit the CPS Parent Portal page for more details regarding your account.

Parents are also invited to Google Classrooms as a guardian to view weekly updates and view missing assignments. Please speak to your child's teacher regrading access, if needed.
