Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families & Friends,

 

We hope you have all had a wonderful start to your week! We are looking forward to the continued evolution of our school year as we are preparing for the expansion of Hybrid Learning in Quarter 4! A big thank you to the many families who were able to join us last week for our Quarter 4 Hybrid Parent Meeting. For those of you who were unable to attend, please see the recording or the powerpoint (also provided below) to ensure you are fully informed. Teachers will be emailing final details this week and we will also send reminders prior to Monday, April 19th!

 

Picture Day

We have added additional sign up spaces for picture day on the Sign Up Genius as this will be our only day the photographer is able to come for Remote Learners. As indicated previously, Thursday, April 15th is reserved for students in Shift B for Quarter 3. For all families who have signed up, please be sure to adhere to the following steps:

 
  • All parents will enter through the Auditorium Doors on Sacramento

  • All children must have a completed health screener prior to entering

    • Please note that you do not need your child’s student id

    • Please enter your child’s email address & birthdate

  • Temperatures will be taken at entry

  • Only students who have signed up can attend at designated time

  • Parents will not be allowed to accompany child

  • All students and parents must wear a facial covering and follow social distancing requirements

 

School Improvement Day

Please be reminded that there is no school for all students on Friday, April 16th. Staff will be finalizing plans for Reopening, sharing best practices for Simultaneous Instruction, and preparing their rooms to welcome more students!

 

Quarter 4 Supply Pick Up

If your child is continuing with Remote Learning and has classroom specific materials for Quarter 4, teachers have scheduled times and locations for Supply Pick Up on Friday, April 16th. Please see communications from your child’s teacher regarding your classroom’s pick up time and location.

 

Report Card Pick Up

Report Card Pick Up for all elementary schools in CPS will take place on Wednesday, April 21st. Teachers have been sending sign up opportunities for all families in order to have a virtual conference to discuss your child’s progress thus far. This is a critical time to partner with your child’s teacher to ensure your child has a successful finish to the school year!

 

We thank our entire community for your continued trust, support, and partnership. Please be sure that you read the entirety of the Buzz for the many community engagement events so we can all continue to #BeBatemanStrong!

 

Our 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 if I missed the Hybrid Family Meeting on Wednesday, April 7th?
We completely understand that many families have varying schedules. In order to accommodate all who are planning to return, we have included the presentation and video...please

 
What steps would I take if I want to switch the learning model for my child?
The window for Quarter 4 In-Person Learning has closed. Thank you for all who have submitted the survey. Those who have submitted "Hybrid Learning" for Quarter 4 have the ability to change to "Learn at Home"; however, all families who have indicated Learn At Home will remain with Remote Learning for the remainder of this school year.

How do I access the Social Compact agreement for families who are returning?
All parents and students should sign and return (either electronically or printed version) of the Bateman Social Compact [Parent Compact English & Spanish | Student Compact English & Spanish]

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!
       

  

 

COVID Case Procedures
If a staff member or student tests positive for COVID the first important step to take is to report the case to the 
COVID-19 self-reporting tool. The Office of Student Health & Wellness will then determine who was exposed (close contact for more than 15 mins) and who needs to quarantine. If a staff member tests positive as part of the CPS on-site COVID-19 testing then the pods exposed will be required to quarantine and launch in to remote learning. 

Click below for tools to guide you through the process, should the need arise:
  • Quarantining process if a staff member tests positive.
