Message from Administration

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,


If there's one thing we are certain of, it's that the Bateman Community never ceases to come together in times of need.  We have seen many students and families coming to support our teachers, from bringing coffee and food fuel to using their own teacher voices while raising their signs outside of the building.  Your patience and support has not gone unnoticed!  

We know we cannot replace our teachers, SECAs, clerks, and staff.  The work they do day in and day out is out of pure joy and commitment to each and every student at Bateman.  We hope to see everyone back in the building together very soon!

Please be reminded that classes will continue to be canceled on Thursday, October 24th due to the CTU and SEIU work stoppage.  Bateman has welcomed about 20 students each day and is open to any family in need of assistance.  District staff is here to coordinate non-instructional activities and our lunchroom staff will continue to provide breakfast, lunch, and a take home dinner.

BOOOsterfest 2019 has been postponed until Friday, November 1st from 4:30pm - 6:30pm due to the work stoppage.  We will announce any other rescheduled events as soon as we return to our normal schedule.

Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions or concerns and continue to watch the news and social media posts for current updates.  For more information regarding the CPS Contingency Plan, please click on the image below in the Upcoming Events section.

Again, we thank you for your outpouring of support for our teachers, staff, and entire community! 

Be Empowered • Be Inclusive • Be Kind

Be Bateman!


All the best,
Georgia & Kate

Room Parents may help: 

  • coordinate volunteers

  • maintain and promote a class supply wishlist

  • organize room parties, field trips, donations and fundraisers

  • communicate with homeroom parents as needed

If you are interested in being a Room Parent for your child’s classroom please contact [email protected] to receive more information.

Square 1 Arts Orders
Right Now!

Square 1 art is a family focused fundraiser for Bateman’s visual arts classrooms!  Each PreK-4th grade student is currently working with their art teacher to create a work of art, and once completed you will have an opportunity to purchase their masterpiece on a variety of high quality products.  The focus of the fundraiser is the accomplishments of your student, which creates conversations between about their art at home, dialog regarding art decision and choice, as well as memorable keepsakes family members can’t resist. At the end of the fundraiser our student’s creativity has been affirmed, our parents have a lasting memory, and Bateman’s art department has raised valuable funds.

Free shipping will be included on orders placed in the first two weeks. Ms. Tambone and Ms. Chrisman will bring all orders directly to each homeroom teacher and student to ensure their keepsakes make it home safely.  Bateman will receive 33% of the profits made from our school’s order and that money will be used to purchase supplies such as oil pastels, acrylic paint, canvas, and other classroom consumables.

For more information regarding Square 1 Art, go to www.square1art.com or ask Ms. Chrisman or Ms. Tambone.
