Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


We didn’t think we could say it anymore in a given year but we would be remiss not to acknowledge the incredible flexibility and responsiveness of our teachers, students, and parent community. Earlier in the week, in less than 12 hours, schedules were re-created, tasks re-assigned, and all were re-adjusted to an adapted plan for the week. It truly takes a community to make this all possible. We remain flexible and responsive for tomorrow’s schedule. Teachers will continue to follow the asynchronous afternoon schedule as planned - we know that many families need to coordinate ahead of time and in an attempt to minimize schedule accommodations from the beginning of the week we will make as few alterations as possible. We contacted preschool families earlier this evening to reiterate district directives for no in-person learning tomorrow, January 27th.


Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting with nearly 75 families to discuss our reopening plan and this afternoon, we met with our entire team of educators to review Reopening protocols and provide updates. While we are currently informing families and staff particularly on details regarding in-person learning, we want to emphasize that ensuring an exceptional educational experience for each of our students is in the forefront of our planning. We recognize that families have had to endure a difficult decision making process for Quarter 3 and ask that all families join us in supporting one another through this transition. Each family has made a personal choice with the best intentions for their own child. Although we may be spread across our community, it is critical that we remain one Bateman Family.


Please see below for additional updates and continue checking your emails and news outlets for the most up to date information regarding the CPS K-8 Reopening. We will continue to keep you as informed as possible and are grateful for your continued trust and partnership as we navigate the upcoming weeks.

Our very best,
Georgia & Kate

Reopening Updates
We will continue to update our community with information and FAQs.
Newly added items will be included in this section of the Buzz.


 
What steps would I take if I want to switch the learning model for my child?
If you selected Learn at Home, you are unable to switch to the Hybrid-Pod Model until 4th quarter. If you selected Hybrid and would like to switch to the Learn from Home model, please email bateman@cps.edu as soon as possible to support planning.

When will I know my own child’s pod assignment and teacher assignment?
Families were notified of shift assignments by Friday, January 22nd via email and phone calls throughout the week. This included information for both In-Person Learners and Remote Learners. If families did not receive information via email, please contact the North Office to update contact information for primary and secondary email accounts.


When will I know my own child’s schedule for February?
Teachers have been collaborating and learning best practices for Reopening to ensure an exemplary educational experience is provided for all students, regardless of their learning location. Teachers will be sharing schedules for in-person learners and remote learners by Friday, January 29th via email.

What steps are necessary to receive the Health Screener text or email?
Parents and guardians of In-Person learners are required to complete a daily health screener for each child attending school. CPS sends a text message or email to the primary contact for each child around 6:00 am. The screener must be completed the morning of attendance no later than 7:30am. To verify that parents or guardians receive the daily reminder, ensure that you have "opted in" to receive district notifications in the North Office by phone at 773-534-5055 or email Ms. Rivera. If you have been receiving the emails to parents with updates regarding reopening, you're all set!
