Jane Addams School News

September 10, 2021

Hello, Jane Addams Families


We want to thank you for your patience as many families have opted to bring their students to school to begin the year. We recognize this is due to transportation challenges and appreciate your understanding.


Please continue to be mindful of physical distancing as you arrive in the morning as while we are outside prior to student entry, we want students to line-up safely and not rush towards the front.


Additionally, it is most helpful to remain in your cars at drop-off, we will open the car door for you as this moves the car line more efficiently.
