Jane Addams Updates
As we approach our Winter Break we are wanting to remind our staff and families in the event of potentinal inclement weather on January 8th, CCSD15 may call an "eLearning day".
If needed, please read more about eLearning here: https://www.ccsd15.net/Page/10565
All students in grades K-6 will bring home their devices on Friday, December 22 so that devices are home in the case of any potential weather event. All devices should be returned to school on Monday, January 8, 2024 after Winter Break or on the next regular 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).
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.

Students will learn about the upcoming move to the Middle School for the 24-25 school year. Students hear about classes and will learn about the Middle School experience.
We are so proud of our students and know you may want to discuss any questions they have in advance with your child. We are looking forward to our first chance to discuss our questions here at Jane Addams on January 24th in this student information session.
