News from Addams 4/17/14

Dear Jane Addams Community,

I hope everyone is doing well on this beautiful sunny day! I know both the students and staff are looking forward to the long weekend! We hope you enjoy.

We wanted to make everyone aware that we will begin the spring administration of the MAP assessments this coming week. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to demonstrate how much they have progressed so far this year. All students, with the exception of those with small group or individual accommodations, will take the assessments with their respective reading and mathematics teachers.

A few other noteworthy items:

• Article from the Superintendent: Superintendent DuRoss’ most recent article written for the Daily Herald was published in print today. The article is accessible on the District 54 website at http://sd54.org. Mr. DuRoss also appears in a video related to the article content. The link to the video, which is cited in the article, is http://sd54.org/board/mission/.

• 8^th Grade Dance: The 8^th grade dance will be held on May 30^th, 2014 from 6-8 PM. Students must attend the full day on May 30^th in order to participate in this event. Although this event is a dressy occasion, casual dress attire is welcomed.  Students must also adhere to the school dress code.  Skirts and dresses must be at an appropriate length. With hands at side, clothing must be longer than longest fingertip. Skirts should not be higher than three (3) inches from knee.  No spaghetti straps, low-cut, or see through tops should be worn. Pants below the waist are not permitted. Please contact me if there are any questions in regards to the dress attire for this event.

• If your child is going to Hoffman Estates High School next year, please see the attached form for an opportunity for he/she to tour the building led by Hoffman Estates staff and students. Students will receive a hard copy of the form next week. Space is limited, so if interested please send the sheet back to the Jane Addams guidance office soon. If you have questions regarding the event, you can contact Mr. Michael Murphy or Mrs. Jennifer Murray, School Counselors at Hoffman Estates High School, 847-755-5630.

Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Chris Bingen and David Szwed
