Message from Administration

                              

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

 

As we approach Thanksgiving week, we are reminded of how grateful we are for our school community and the families we serve. We see the diligence of our students in their work and engagement, the unwavering support and encouragement of our parents and caretakers, and the dedication and resiliency of our educators. The partnerships and collaborative efforts are stronger than ever but we also see a need for our school community to take a break because as a school, we CARE. We Commit for All to feel Recharged & Energized.

 

Although we cannot alter the permanent Remote Learning schedule, we have decided to modify the daily schedule for Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th.  All teachers will be utilizing the morning synchronous time as platforms for creative sessions. Teachers and students will be generating these together and students will have choice in the sessions they attend, including arts, social and emotional, mindfulness, and more! All students will meet with the homeroom for their morning meeting at the beginning of the day (8:15am) using the normal links. Teachers will be sharing the grade level plan in their weekly learning plan communication with families. All sessions following 11:15am will be asynchronous (there will be no live classes in the afternoon).

 

We are excited for students to have the opportunity to see friends from across their grade level, as well as offer more hands-on options for the afternoon off of a screen. There will be a menu of activities provided per grade band for families, pods, or caretakers to utilize in the afternoon.

 

We hope you use these two days to take CARE.

 

Our best,

Georgia & 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.

Eligibility Requirements
Many high school programs have minimum eligibility requirements that students must meet in order to apply. Each program also has a selection process that determines how seats are filled. The Elementary and High School Guide provides a comprehensive listing of each high school program, the minimum eligibility requirements (if applicable) and the selection process. This is a great resource for planning which programs to select and rank. If you haven’t already, check out the Elementary and High School Guide using the links below.

Selective Enrollment High Schools Exam

Parent Organization Updates
Important future events & Ways to be Involved!
Local School Council

LSC elections will take place on Wednesday, November 18th. You should have received a mail-in ballot form to participate in the upcoming LSC Election.

All parents/guardians will be sent a mail-in ballot with a pre-paid return envelope.
● The mail-in ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. on the date of the election (either November 18 or November 19).
● Parents can also drop off their mail-in ballot at their school up to the date of the election.
● The district will use Aspen data to send every CPS parent or guardian a mail-in ballot and prepaid return envelope by the week of November 2.

Due to COVID-19, parents, guardians and staff can choose between either voting in-person at their respective schools, submitting their ballots by mail, or dropping off their mail-in ballots. For in-person voting, the district is implementing stringent health and safety measures, including social distancing, face covering requirements, and completing a health screener and temperature check prior to entering school buildings. The district will also offer curbside voting for individuals with disabilities.

Community members will still be required to vote in person because the district does not have access to information for every prospective community voter living within a school’s boundary in order to provide a mail-in ballot.

To view the updates from Chicago Public Schools regarding LSC Elections, please click here in English and Spanish.

For more information, please visit the Bateman LSC Page or the CPS LSC Election Page.
