Jane Addams School News
August 18, 2023
Hello, Jane Addams Families
We want to thank you for your patience as many families have chosen to drive their students to school to help transportation this school year. Please note, if you chose to walk to the front to collect your child, we ask you not leave your car unattended in front circle. This area is for immediate loading. Please park in the lot or on the street. Thank you!
Please continue to be mindful of physical distancing as you arrive in the morning as while we are outside prior to student entry and dismissing, we want students to line-up safely in the morning and not rush when leaving.
We have asked that the K-1 students now be dismissed first and then the older students have a staggered dismissal just a few minutes later. We hope this eases congestion and should not impact any time you arrive to collect your student.
Open House Time Adjustment
3rd grade - 6th grade 6:15 - 7:00 pm
Kdg - 2nd grade, SIP Classes 5:30 - 6:15 pm
*** Special Area 6:00 - 6:30****
Lunch and Breakfast at Jane Addams (reminder)
As in past years, students at Jane Addams are provided breakfast and lunch at no cost. Students can bring items from home. Should they want a milk with lunch, they need only select a fresh fruit option to partner as a meal to have milk at no charge.
We are fortunate to provide meals at no cost for our students.

Assessment Information - MAP Testing Season
The MAP test measures each student’s achievement in reading and math. Most students complete the MAP in less than 40 minutes. This test provides our staff with valuable information that helps plan instruction and track student growth. Please visit our District Assessment Calendar on the District 15 website if you would like more information about the MAP test. It is always helpful to make sure your child is well rested and prepared for MAP testing. If you would like to have your child practice the MAP test, you can visit the MAP practice site at: http://bit.ly/PracticeMAPTest.
The MAP test is used to help school staff determine each student’s reading and math skills and pinpoint specific areas to focus on during instruction. School staff also use the MAP to monitor each child’s academic growth. MAP test results from the fall and spring testing periods will be available to parents via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. These results are typically posted in October and again in June.
If you are interested in more information about the MAP test, please contact your child’s teacher or download the MAP Parent Toolkit at https://www.nwea.org/parent-toolkit/
