Message from Administration

Tuesday, January 18th

 

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

 

It is difficult to believe we are nearing the end of the second quarter. We witnessed our students, educators and parents continue true partnership even when many throughout last week were in different learning locations. We saw students quickly engaging in authentic tasks and educators gracefully balancing students within the classroom and learning remotely, which is no easy feat. 

 

We are grateful for the agreement that was reached with CPS & CTU which honors the shared commitment to our students, families, and staff.  We would like to thank all of our families for their extraordinary patience they’ve shown through these unprecedented challenges. Full details of the agreement can be found here, but listed below are the details that will impact families most:

 

Masks

  • CPS will provide KN95 masks to all students and staff who want them. As a reminder, masks only work if they are worn properly over the nose and mouth, so the best mask for your child is one that they can wear comfortably throughout the day.

Daily Health Screener

  • Each school’s Safety Committee can decide whether or not to bring back the daily health screener. You will receive more information on this directly from your child’s school. 

Remote Learning

  • There are now set metrics in place to determine when COVID-19 cases/quarantines may send an entire school into remote learning. If a school meets these thresholds, the school’s Safety Committee will make the decision on whether or not to transition the entire school to remote learning. Remote learning will last for five days unless the school is directed otherwise by the Chicago Department of Public Health. 

COVID-19 Testing

  • Our existing program for COVID-19 testing, which provides students and staff at every school with free testing every week, will continue. Please visitcolor.com/readycheckgo-cps to register your student for weekly testing.

  • CPS will test a minimum of 10% of students at each school every week.

  • In schools with a high rate of positive Covid cases, additional testing will be provided to students and staff who do not have symptoms. 

  • Students who have symptoms of COVID-19 can receive a free test at school with the consent of their parents or guardian.

  • If an entire school transitions to remote learning, staff and students without symptoms will be offered COVID-19 tests at school within five days

Currently, we have just over 35% of our student body with a record of being fully vaccinated in our system. This past week, all fully vaccinated students who were in a classroom in quarantine were able to come to school! If you have not submitted your child’s vaccination card, please either bring it to the main office or email a photo of it to adorosz@cps.edu and mcastro49@cps.edu. 


We are excited to provide a vaccination clinic at Bateman on February 10th and March 3rd. Details are included below. For other locations, visit:
  • Four (4) Regional CPS Clinics that offer weekly appointments:

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.

Bateman Fathers' Club

Pints With Purpose is Back!  
Bateman Elementary School FUNdraiser Hosted by Bateman Fathers' Club
 


What’s better than an ice-cold delicious beer?
How about an ice-cold delicious beer that raises money for our school! 
 
Together with our good friends at Twisted Hippo, Bateman Fathers’ Club (BFC) is excited to announce its Spring FUNdraising event – Pints with Purpose (PwP).
 
First launched in 2019, the inaugural PwP raised more than $1,500 used to directly benefit the Bateman student body.  This year we look to build on our success, with a couple frothy new additions.



Check it out:

  • The PwP Bateman Brew will be available in 4-packs! While $1 from each PwP sold onsite at Twisted Hippo is donated to Bateman, BFC will now also receive $3 from each 4-pack of PwP cans purchased.
  • But what’s its name? You tell us! This year’s Bateman Brew is a Red Ale featuring Centennial hops to celebrate Bateman’s 100th Anniversary. Get your ideas on tap and use this link to join the auction for 2022 naming rights.  Bidding starts today and runs through January 27.
  • Can I help make the beer? Yes!…for a donation that will benefit ALL students at Bateman. Brewmaster Karl and the Twisted Hippo Beer team have graciously agreed to allow one lucky winner and a guest to hang out and help out February 2, 2022 when the PwP hits the barrels. Use this link to access the auction page and place your bid for this one-of-a-kind experience! Bidding starts today and runs through January 27.
  • Is there going to be a launch party? We sure hope so.  Release date is scheduled for March 10th and we’d love to see the community out and about to support the BFC, Twisted Hippo and the Bateman students. That said, we’re getting pretty good at staying flexible, so look for additional communication and details about the launch party.
  • Where can I get more information? As always, hit us up at batemanfathersclub@gmail.com
