Welcome Back Buzz | 2022-2023

Dear Bateman Families and Friends,

We are excited to kick off the 2022-23 school year just ONE WEEK from today! On behalf of the Bateman teachers and staff, we extend a warm welcome to all our Bateman families. Bateman Elementary exists to create a community that craves learning, fosters resiliency, and cares deeply for every child. We benefit from an invested Local School Council, talented administrators and staff, outstanding students, and an engaged community! 

This is the first of many communications that will be shared with our community at large. Families should expect to receive the Bateman Buzz, our community newsletter, every two weeks on Fridays! We have added all primary contacts to the Bateman Buzz. If there are additional family members or caregivers, please subscribe!

We are still enrolling students for the upcoming school year. Our current kindergarten is under enrolled at only 75 students. If you know of any families still needing to enroll their five year old, please encourage them to come to the North Office as soon as possible. For students with completed registrations, classroom teacher assignments at Bateman are available via the Parent Portal.  All families should also have received a placement letter on Friday. If you did not receive a letter, please ensure your email address is up-to-date with Ms. Rivera [elrivera6@cps.edu].

We share incredible pride in uniting and overcoming the challenges we have faced over the past two years. This school year, we all look forward to reclaiming the ceremonies and traditions that enrich our culture. Although the global pandemic isn’t at an end, we are in a different stage. Chicago Public Schools will be sending continuous updates [click here for the message from this evening]. As plans evolve, we will be sure to keep our community informed. 

We welcome you again and look forward to an outstanding 2022-23 school year!  

Warm regards,
Ms. Davos & Ms. Kloepper
