Message from Administration
Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Happy Spring Forward! We are overwhelming proud of how our community transitioned to Mask-Optional today. All were respectful of individual family choices - our core values rang true throughout the building!

We look forward to sharing how our classrooms have been integrating Women's History Month into their curriculum and may the luck of the Irish be with you this week! 

Warmly,
Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper

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.
