Mid-May 2018
Message from the Principal

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We were so overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from our entire community at our Spring Fling last Thursday!  Wow!  What a fantastic evening to celebrate all things Bateman!  A huge thank you to the Bateman Boosters and all of our sponsors for making the event spectacular.  If you have not had an opportunity, please visit our website to see our video exemplifying what it means to Be Bateman!

We have two very exciting announcements to share with our community!  First, alongside Alderman Mell, we are incredibly thrilled to announce that after more than a year of advocacy and collaboration with CPS, our school will be receiving a brand new artificial turf soccer field!  The capital project will break ground in the coming months and is expected to be completed before the beginning of the 2019 school year!  More information about playground access will be forthcoming.


Second, we are excited to announce that one of our half day preschool programs will be phasing in to a full day preschool program this upcoming school year.  This means that we will have three sections of preschool:
       1. Half Day Dual Language Preschool Program
       2. Half Day Blended Preschool Program
       3. Full Day Preschool Program
Anticipated hours of the program will be 8:15am - 3:15pm.  The priority window for applying is currently open and can be accessed here.  The priority application window closes May 18th.

Finally, Kindergarten Registration is now open! We cannot wait to meet all of our newest Bateman kindergarteners. Please help us plan ahead by registering as soon as possible in the North Office.

We look forward to seeing you soon and as always, Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate
