Contingency Plan for Thursday

October 16, 2019

Good Afternoon Bateman Families,

We received official guidance that classes will not be in session tomorrow, October 17th. The CPS has already sent a Contingency Plan out to parents; however, we would like to relay, some important information:

Classes will not be in session on Thursday, October 17th.
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.

In order to ensure that students are active and continuing their education at home during a 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

We will continue to inform you as we learn more details regarding the upcoming days. Please be sure to diligently check local news and Bateman Social Media Accounts for prompt updates regarding next steps for our teachers and students. Please join us in supporting our teachers and staff as they advocate for the best interest of each of our children.

Warm regards,

Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
