It is hard to believe we have closed out the 2022-2023 school year. These last few weeks have been jam-packed with celebrations for our incredible students. It has been such a joy to see families come together to lift up our students and champion their successes. As Summer approaches, please be aware that the school hours change, as well. If you are in need of enrolling or transferring your child, please make an appointment by emailing both Ms. Evelyn Rivera at elrivera6@cps.edu and Ms. Karen Coss at krodriguez96@cps.edu. Enrollment Hours will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am - 12pm. We look forward to sharing classroom assignments via Parent Portal in August! Educators have spent a great deal of time curating classroom organizations that are in the best interest of all students. Please see below for supply lists and other back to school events.  Staff Updates Ms. Asher, our amazing Social Worker, will be retiring after 33 years. Ms. Asher is one of those very special people you only hope comes into your life...and wow are we fortunate to have her in each of ours. She has supported countless students through her years here with us, creating safe spaces for every single student. Whether or not you worked closely with her, know that her work has positively made a difference in your child’s day! Ms. Asher, we will miss you dearly and we are certain your impact on our community will continue to shine through our students for years to come. Please help us in wishing her a wonderful retirement! A few more well wishes...we wish Ms. Howland all the best as she and her family prepare to welcome their new little one - we can’t wait for your return! We would also like to wish Ms. Villaroman (World Language) and Ms. Brown (Kindergarten) best of luck as they begin new adventures in Spain and New York, respectively.  Last but certainly not least, we have two SECAs, Mr. Avila and Ms. Ormes, who will be leaving us to begin their programs towards becoming teachers. We are very proud and excited for each of them - they will always remain part of the Bateman Family! We hope our entire community enjoys summer to the fullest - spend lots of time together as a family, read, read some more, and make countless memories. We are eager to see you in the 2023-2024 school year, ready to #BeBateman!
