Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families & Friends,

We hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful new colors of fall that have blanketed our city!

Over the past several years, one of our instructional foci within our CIWP Curriculum & Instruction Priority has been making learning relevant to the students we see in front of us each year! We are incredibly proud of the immense reflection and revision our educators practice each year to ensure that themes, lessons, and mentor texts represent relevant events, as well as the cultures, languages, family structures, and practices of the students in their classrooms. In an effort to be inclusive, our school strives to reach the highest level of Banks Theory of Multicultural Reform, in which celebrations of cultures and language occur often and are integrated naturally on a daily basis. Some of the ways our teachers have been infusing Hispanic Heritage Month in daily lessons include the following:

  • Mentor Texts and Read Alouds featuring Latinx Authors and Honorable Characters
  • Highlighting Latinx community contributors and reading articles featuring their work
  • Singing Songs and Welcoming one another in a multitude of languages
  • And Much More!
We will continue to spotlight our classrooms as we celebrate the rich cultures of our school community. Below is a poem from 7th grade in analyzing identity and uncovering imagery!
 

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

Warmly,

Georgia and Kate

We are Ready for Week 5!

Progress Reports
 
How will I receive my child's progress report?
Chicago Public Schools will be mailing all Progress Reports to the addresses on file in Aspen. If you need to update your contact information, please call the main office at 773-534-5055 or email bateman@cps.edu.

How can I view my child's grades prior to progress reports?
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.

Supporting Our Families
**LAST WEEK TO COMPLETE FORM**


The pandemic has impacted families on multiple levels. As one school community, we are encouraged by the amount of families that have reached out to support one another. Since we cannot see one another on a daily basis at drop offs and pick ups, it is important for open communication, especially when families are in need of support. Please indicate whether your family is in need of support or if you are a family who can provide support. Further information and next steps will be forthcoming once we receive sufficient responses from families.
Family is IN NEED of support
Family CAN PROVIDE support

Chicago Public Library: Reading for Change

Change begins when you hand the right book at the right time. That time is now. The Chicago Public Library Foundation is launching Reading for Change—a campaign dedicated to expanding access to racial justice literature that will engage Chicagoans in critical conversations about race.  

With your support, Reading for Change will ensure that literature and education around systemic racism is widely available—without a waitlist and across age groups—to anyone seeking to read, engage, and act towards positive social change.

Read. Engage. Act.
