Kindergarten Registration is Now OPEN!

2020-2021 Kindergarten Registration at Bateman

In-Boundary Families

Thursday, May 14th - Friday, May 22nd

We cannot wait to meet the incoming Kindergarteners, Class of 2033!  ​Please fill out the form below to notify us of your intent to enroll your child at Bateman for Kindergarten for the 2020-2021 academic year. In order to enroll your child in Kindergarten at Bateman, you must reside in our attendance boundaries and your son or daughter must turn 5 years old on or before September 1st, 2020.  You can check here to verify that you are within the Bateman Boundaries.  All families who reside outside of Bateman boundaries must apply through go.cps.edu.

The form below will serve as a placeholder for Bateman office staff and administration to begin planning for next school year. Parents/Guardians will need to fill out the official registration packet once Chicago Public School buildings are open and back to regular hours. We will use the information provided in the form below to contact you with further information.  Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this time. 

Once Bateman resumes normal business hours, in addition to the official registration packet, you will need to submit your child's birth certificate, your state issued identification, and proof of address (ie. utility bill) to our clerk, Karen Coss, at [email protected]. Please refer to Chicago Public School enrollment guidelines here: https://cps.edu/Schools/Enroll_in_a_school/Register/Pages/Elementaryschoolregistrationchecklist.aspx or look at the Enrollment Page of our website.

By now, you should have received your waitlist offer through Go CPS.  Waitlist Offers in Round 1 should be accepted or withdrawn by May 22nd.  If you would like to stay on the list for Bateman, you do not need to take any action at this time.  This will ensure your place on the waitlist for Bateman.  Starting Friday, May 29th, Go CPS will be opening the process for schools to begin extending offers to families who have been placed on the waitlist.  Spaces we have available at Bateman will be offered after our neighborhood families have registered.  We will be going in order of each individual list for our 4 kindergarten classrooms (2 Dual, 2 Monolingual) based on the lists provided by Go CPS.
