It's Time for Spring Fling!

It’s time for SPRING FLING 2023

Sign up to Host a Parent Party

Hello fabulous Bateman community! Spring Fling, our annual silent and live auction and party, will take place at Burning Bush Brewery on May 12th from 7-11pm. Mark your calendars!

Every year, parent hosted Sign-Up Parties are a highlight of Spring Fling. We are looking for volunteers again this year!

Here's how it works!

You come up with a fun group activity you would like to host or co-host with friends! (Fill out this form)
People will have a chance to purchase a spot at your party Spring Fling on May 12th. If there are open spots after the auction we will offer the opportunity to purchase available spots to anyone in the Bateman Community who did not attend Spring Fling.
You host your party and people show up for the fun!

Party themes can be for adults only, kids only or fun for the whole family! All parties will be hosted any day after Spring Fling - May 12th. Summer is OK too!

All funds for purchased spots go towards our goal of raising $65,000 to help improve the Bateman Auditorium.

If you have an idea of an activity that you think would be better suited for the silent auction instead of a sign-up party feel free to email us.

If you would like to host a party please fill out This Google Form . We will be in touch shortly to finalize any details.

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

Our students celebrated their 100th Day of school this week! What an amazing accomplishment for our community - congratulations to each of you, parents and caretakers, for supporting your child(ren) for over 100 days of school this year! Please keep a look out on social media this weekend for a video celebrating this annual tradition!

Kindergarten & 8th Grade CSO Partnership
The arts are vibrant in our school! Our partnerships with various Chicago organizations are coming to life. Check out the Kindergarten and 8th Grade partnership with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra below as they were welcomed to a beautiful performance this afternoon!

1st & 2nd Grade Artists
Letter and number sequence art inspired by American Artist Jasper Johns. 1st and 2nd grade artists explored layering various art mediums to create a textured grid. Students used their literacy and math skills to fill in their grid, using Jasper Johns paintings ‘Alphabet’ and ‘0 through 9’ as their inspiration.

As we look ahead to even more celebrations next week, please be reminded that we are a healthy school. For Valentine's Day, please refrain from bringing in any candy, sweets, or any other foods or beverages, as they may not be consumed by or distributed to students. Only non-food Valentine's Day items are allowed, such as pencils, stickers, and other fun things. If you do choose to send items, please make sure that they are individually wrapped and inclusive of all children.

Best regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper

Sick Student Reminders

1/27/2023

BATEMAN WEBSITE | TRADUCIR ESTA PAGINA | EDUCATOR WEBSITES | CONTACT US

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

The flu bug has hit us! There has been a drastic increase in the amount of children becoming ill throughout the school day. We have seen many cases of strep , flu, stomach viruses, and lengthy coughs. As a reminder, please keep your child home from school if they have a fever. If your child complains of a headache, sore throat, or stomachache, please take the time to assess the situation prior to sending them to school.

Our guidelines are as follows:

Your child should stay home if their fever is 100 or greater.
Please don't administer an antipyretic such as Tylenol or Motrin to your sick child and then send your child to school.
If your child vomits the morning of school or the night before, please keep them home. Do not assume it's "something they ate".
Seek medical care outside of the school environment.

If your child comes down to the nurses office with any of the above symptoms, we will first ask them to put their head down, drink water or eat something, or try to use the washroom. If they are still not feeling well, we will be calling to have an emergency contact pick up the child. We appreciate your prompt response as we have had several ill children in the building this week.

As a friendly reminder, if a child is sent home from school, they must stay home the following day until they have cleared a full 24 hours fever-free or without any symptoms.

Thank you to all of our Bateman families who have been respectful of our students and staff by keeping their sick children home.

Have a wonderful week!

All the best,
Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
