Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


We are growing increasingly eager to welcome everyone back in to the building soon!  Classes will be canceled again on Tuesday, October 29th. However, we have another great opportunity to come together as a community tomorrow evening from 4pm - 8pm for the Bateman Boosters’ October Dine to Donate at Chipotle on Addison!  

Be sure to continuously check updates from the school regarding After School Programs, Halloween celebrations, BOOOsterfest, Día de los muertos and any other school events.  All information below is tentative until we have more certainty regarding the CTU Strike.


We know all teachers would greatly appreciate if you encourage your child(ren) to read each day!  In order to ensure that students are active in continuing their education at home during the work stoppage, please utilize one of the many resources that Bateman provides to each of our students, including:

  • Math: ​IXL

  • Reading: ​RAZKids​ or NewsELA

  • Spanish: ​Duolingo

  • Kahn Academy


Please keep these important reminders in mind during the CTU Strike:

  • School buildings will be open during the normal bell schedule.(8:15 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.)

  • Teachers and staff will not be in the building during school hours.  District representatives will be assigned to schools for support.

  • This does not count as an absence for your child.

  • Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

  • School transportation services will not be available for students.

  • CTA rides are free for students.

  • Before and After-school activities will be canceled. This includes — but is not limited to— sports, tutoring, field trips, Parent University activities, LSC meetings, and other community activities.

  • Before and After Care will be canceled, however, NBGC will continue to provide services at their facility.

  • If you choose to continue to bring your child(ren) to school, parents are asked to register their child in advance at ​cps.edu/contingencyplan​ to ensure we have enough staff and meals to serve children.
Please reach out to bateman@cps.edu with any questions or concerns and continue to watch the news and social media posts for current updates.  


Again, we thank you for your outpouring of support for our teachers, staff, and entire community and hope to see everyone back in the building soon!


Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate

Room Parents Needed!

The Bateman Room Parent program provides an organized resource to allow parents to get involved while allowing Teachers to focus on what they do best, TEACH! 

Room Parents may help: 

  • coordinate volunteers

  • maintain and promote a class supply wishlist

  • organize room parties, field trips, donations and fundraisers

  • communicate with homeroom parents as needed

If you are interested in being a Room Parent for your child’s classroom please contact jennifergrunstad@gmail.com to receive more information.

Square 1 Arts Orders
Right Now!

Square 1 art is a family focused fundraiser for Bateman’s visual arts classrooms!  Each PreK-4th grade student is currently working with their art teacher to create a work of art, and once completed you will have an opportunity to purchase their masterpiece on a variety of high quality products.  The focus of the fundraiser is the accomplishments of your student, which creates conversations between about their art at home, dialog regarding art decision and choice, as well as memorable keepsakes family members can’t resist. At the end of the fundraiser our student’s creativity has been affirmed, our parents have a lasting memory, and Bateman’s art department has raised valuable funds.

Free shipping will be included on orders placed in the first two weeks. Ms. Tambone and Ms. Chrisman will bring all orders directly to each homeroom teacher and student to ensure their keepsakes make it home safely.  Bateman will receive 33% of the profits made from our school’s order and that money will be used to purchase supplies such as oil pastels, acrylic paint, canvas, and other classroom consumables.

For more information regarding Square 1 Art, go to www.square1art.com or ask Ms. Chrisman or Ms. Tambone.
