New Family Orientation
As we move closer to the 2024-2025 school year, we’ve had many conversations as a School District regarding student transitions to new schools next year. We are excited to offer a New Family Welcome Night opportunities for our elementary students who will be attending a Jane Addams next year.
Please note, each school has an Open House in the spring. Jane Addams current school’s open house is April 25 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm and is a showcase for this school year. We strongly encourage all families to participate in our Open House. Students will have an opportunity to show their family around Jane Addams and families will learn more about what happens during the day in their child’s classroom.
The New Family Welcome Night shared below is an additional opportunities for students who will attend a new school in the 2024-2025 school year. These Welcome Nights are not mandatory, but an option for any students who will attend a new school next year.
Elementary New Family Welcome Night - April 17, 2024, from 6-6:45 pm
During this Elementary New Family Welcome Night, new students will hear a welcome from our team followed by self-guided tours and an opportunity to learn more about what makes Jane Addams or your new school special! All schools will hold the Welcome Night on the same night, at the same time.

Partial Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024
On Monday, April 8, 2024 all of North America will experience an eclipse of the sun. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks any part of the sun. This is the first time since 2017 a solar eclipse will be visible on a path across the entire continental United States.
The partial solar eclipse will begin at 12:51pm, with the maximum eclipse happening at 2:07 pm where 93% of the sun will be blocked. The partial eclipse will end at 3:22pm. To participate in this rare scientific event, our school has organized a structured, supervised viewing opportunity for students. Safety during the eclipse viewing is our top priority. Because parts of the sun will still be visible, we are providing solar eclipse glasses that must be worn outside at all times.
Students and Staff will be required to wear solar glasses during the structured activity. Children will be supervised at all times. Morning Kindergarten students will bring their eclipse glasses home so that they may also participate.
In order to best manage safe eclipse viewing, other precautionary measures will be taken to protect students:
● P.E. classes during the eclipse event will be held indoors.
● Students will have indoor recess during the time of the eclipse.
If you do not wish to have your student participate in the outdoor viewing of the solar eclipse please email your child’s teacher and principal by Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Students not participating in the outdoor viewing will participate in an alternative activity
