Jane Addams Updates
Thank you for your understanding as our District utilized an eLearning Day on Friday, January 12th. We hope we are in-person going forward, however, younger students may be bringing their devices home just in case another day is required. Our students were very resilient and completed assigned independent work due to intermittent technical difficulties if needed. We are proud of our students and staff and their ability to adapt and learn together. If students were kicked out of a session due to power or internet issues they were marked present for the day as well.
If needed, please read more about eLearning here: https://www.ccsd15.net/Page/10565
All devices should be returned to school on the following in-person school day.
We also want to remind you that our schools have granted access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices and accounts. This app provides parents with a set of internet controls that you can set for time outside of school. We are happy to extend the educational support of GoGuardian and internet filtering tools that our schools offers beyond the school day.
To access the app, please follow these instructions:
Dowload the app
Download via Google Play Store
After the app is successfully downloaded, enter the email registered with the school (you may reach out to our school office if you forgot your registered email).
If you haven't yet, check your email via your phone for a link to log-in to the app.
Note: If you don't have access to your email through the device you used to log in, tap on the "login with verification code," and copy and paste the code from the email into the app. You should be ready to begin to explore the features of GoGuardian.

Thank you Delta Dental of Illinois
We are thankful to Delta Dental of Illinois that Jane Addams has been selected for the H2O On the Go water bottle-filling station station program. Over winter break a new water bottle-filling station was installed next to the entry hallway at Jane Addams. H2O On the Go will help our students choose water more frequently through the day. In addition, all our students will be receiving reusable water bottles and toothbrushes. We will be posting photos of our students with the hashtag #H2oontheGo. If you would like, you can also send photos to info@deltadentallil.com. Thank you Delta Dental of Illinois!
