Jane Addams School News
August 21, 2020
Welcome to the 2020-21 School Year!
Hello, Jane Addams Families
Virtual learning for all students began on Wednesday, August 19th. We have enjoyed connecting with our students the last few days in our virtual learning communities.
While the school year has started off with its fair share of celebrations, we appreciate your patience with the changes as well as challenges with technology. It is important to remind your children attendance is taken several times through the day. We are checking in on students and families to make sure they have access to technology and connections. Please let us know if you are experiencing any obstacles connecting virtually to your child's teacher.
Next, we want to remind you of our current plan to return to in-person learning on a gradual return-to-learn basis. While these dates continue to be tentative for re-entry, they are staggered and we will continue to meet virtually until this time:
If you had selected the virtual option: All virtual cohorts will continue to meet virtually
