Message from Administration
 

Dear Bateman Friends and Families,

You are cordially invited to Bateman’s Centennial Celebration! Let’s come together on Thursday, June 16th at 5pm as a community in celebration of this momentous occasion! We will be celebrating with a large street festival on the playground and on Richmond to commemorate Bateman’s 100th Birthday! Entry will be free for all in our community. We hope to see you there!

The Centennial Celebration will include:

  • Student Performances
  • Food Trucks
  • Face Painting
  • Local Vendors
  • Games
  • Movie on the Turf: Encanto

…And More!

              

 

                                                 2022-2023 Planning

As this school year is coming to a close, our educators are already busy preparing for next year! We are currently curating homerooms, creating schedules, and envisioning a wonderful school year ahead! In order to help us plan accurately, if your family is planning to leave Bateman prior to the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, please complete the Anticipated Transfer Form and bring it to the North Office.


Additionally, Kindergarten Registration is currently open for all in-boundary families. We would like to have all Kindergarteners enrolled by June 1st. The earlier families register, the more we are able to prepare to welcome our newest class! All registration information is available below and on the Bateman Website. We appreciate your help with this!


Last but certainly not least, we are excited to announce that a new playground is in the works thanks to the generosity of Alderwoman Rosanna Rodriguez and State Representative Jaime Andrade. There is much to do to ensure our ideas come to life and we need your help! We are currently seeking slogans for our playspace project so we can refer to the initiative utilizing the same name! If you have creative ideas, please submit your slogan here!

 

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!


Our best,

Georgia & Kate

Chicago Public Library is pleased to announce the 2022 Summer Learning Challenge: City of Stories!

Running June 27th - August 14th , Families are encouraged to Register in person at the library or online. After registering, they will receive an activity booklet which includes space to track their reading. Once they have read 500 minutes and completed 1 activity, they will receive a very special prize: their very own City of Stories T shirt!

In addition, we will have many fun events and activities at the library all summer long. I've attached handouts to share with your students. Please feel free to reply to this email with any questions.

Visit https://www.chipublib.org/summer-at-cpl/ for more information.

 

The CPS Virtual Academy is
now enrolling students for SY23.

 

Enrollment is no longer limited to COVID-related conditions. Qualifying students (PreK-Grade 12) must have a medical condition indicated on an active IEP/504 and their medical professional must determine that the student would benefit from the virtual learning format.

 

The application is open until July 1st; acceptances will be announced by July 15th. If demand exceeds capacity, acceptance will be determined by lottery. Qualifying students who were not accepted will be placed on a waitlist.

 

Accepted students will be dually enrolled with the Virtual Academy & the district-run physical school. The physical school will still receive funding for the student and will be required to host the student for in-person testing for required state assessments.


Parents/Guardians should complete this interest form (Spanish) to begin the application process. Questions/inquiries can be directed to [email protected].
