Special Message from Bateman LSC

Dear Bateman Community Members, 

It is our great pleasure to announce that on February 1, 2022, after performing and discussing the cumulative principal review pursuant to Local School Council (LSC) guidelines, the Bateman LSC proudly and unanimously voted to approve the renewal of Principal Georgia Davos-Vetas’ contract to lead our school. 

As CPS principal contracts run for four-year terms, our vote renews Principal Davos-Vetas’ contract through the 2026 school year. We believe that Principal Davos’ vision and effective leadership have directly resulted in Bateman’s success within the Chicago Public Schools’ neighborhood school system. 

We hope you will join us in enthusiastically thanking Principal Davos for her continued guidance, dedication and passion for our children’s education.

                                                        --------------------
 

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

 

It is such an honor to have been awarded the contract principal position for the third time at Bateman Elementary School!  Bateman is an exceptional school known for its dedication to developing compassionate, inquisitive, and goal oriented students while developing the core values of being empowered, inclusive and kind.   I plan to continue to build on these practices to ensure students continue to thrive at Bateman.  I promise to be supportive and continue to develop a collaborative culture that honors students' individuality and strengthens and empowers them to explore and take risks. 

 

I am humbled that the Local School Council has selected me as your principal.  I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the Bateman community.  If I can ever be of assistance, please call or email me.  It is through a collaborative learning community with consistent, honest, and open communication that I can best serve our students. 

 

Yours truly,

Georgia Davos-Vetas

Sign Up for COVID Testing
COVID Testing is Every Tuesday | Sign up Here


CPS has partnered with Thermo Fisher to offer free, regular testing to students and staff for COVID-19. Regular testing means that testing is offered to everyone on a weekly basis, even if they don’t have symptoms of COVID-19. Each Tuesday, registered students can participate in weekly COVID-19 Testing. Please access the CPS COVID FAQs for any questions regarding the testing process.
  • Students only need to be registered once. Since we are above 10% as a school, students will remain on the list on a weekly basis.
  • If your child has tested positive for COVID-19, per CDC Guidelines, the child should wait 90 days prior to testing again. Please remind your student or email the school to have your child removed from the list.
