Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Family,


Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! At Bateman, we truly believe that the diversity of our school community is at the heart of creating a special experience for our students. We prioritize the celebration of all our cultures throughout the entire year and emphasize lessons and texts that highlight the cultures represented in our school.  Some of our students have engaged in songs and dances from the Latinx community - check them out below!


We’ve had three great weeks of learning! Thank you for your partnership as we continue to navigate this time together. As much as our vaccinated community continues to be cautious, COVID-19 cases can occur, and we will work through all of the protocols and procedures together. Thank you to all of our families for monitoring symptoms and keeping us informed about positive cases.


As a reminder, if you have not yet completed the Health Screener Attestation Form, please do so immediately. All parents must complete a daily health screener prior to sending children to school. If they are exhibiting anyCOVID-19 symptoms they must stay home for the day.


A few reminders:

  • School Pictures: Let's see those smiles, Bateman! Please make sure your children come to school tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 21st, ready to pose for their school pictures!

  • Virtual Curriculum Night:  While it’s unfortunate that we aren’t all able to meet in person under normal circumstances, our educators are excited to share a little bit about themselves and their plans for the coming year.  Bateman’s curriculum is something we are all very proud of and excited to share with you.  The Virtual Curriculum Night will be live at 5:30 pm.  Links will be shared via email from your child’ teacher. 

  • Community Safety: We have had several meetings with community organizations and the Alderwoman’s office regarding keeping our community safe. We plan to host the first Public Safety Forum at which we will present a few ideas to continue improving safety measures that impact our children. Stay tuned for further updates.

  • Blaze Ways: We have officially begun our annual Blaze Ways campaign! Our first rally was held today (virtually) to encourage our community to Be Safe, Respectful and Responsible (how we choose to act) and to Be Empowered, Inclusive, and Kind (who we are and what we stand for!). Ask your child what they learned from the rally today!

If there is one thing that Bateman is known for...providing support!  Please don’t hesitate to reach out for help through our teaching staff if and when the need arises. Remaining connected and accessing the many resources in our community is a strength. 


Thank you for your continued support.


Warm regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
