Information Day:
 Information Day is Thursday, August 17th from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.  If families chose to attend Information Day, students will receive a copy of their schedule, be given the opportunity to buy PTA spirt wear and can take self-guided tours of the building. Parents must accompany their student to Information Day.

What happens if you cannot attend Information Day?

We realize that many families may be out of town or not available on August 17th. This is perfectly, OK! As long as residency is up-to-date, you can logon to the Infinite Campus parent portal on August 9th to view your child’s schedule. All 7th grade students will receive a tour of the school and be on-boarded on August 21st (and 8th graders will receive refreshers on August 22nd) so it is not essential that they attend Information Day.

 Proof of Residency/Registration (REQUIRED for all families)
 Families must have both portions of their 2023/2024 registration complete in order to have their student schedule released, including review of registration and annual verification of residency.  District 54 has moved to an electronic residency verification process to verify the residency for the majority of families.  Families whose residency we were unable to verify electronically were sent a letter providing details of the additional information needed.  If you did not receive a letter then your residency was most likely verified.  Review of registration information can be completed through your parent portal account.  For families who do not have a portal account, a paper registration form was mailed.

 Schedules will be withheld if residency is not current or you have not proved residency. If you are planning to attend Information Day, bring residency documents with you.

 Addams PTA
 During Information Day, you will also have the opportunity to sign up for our PTA.  We have an absolutely amazing and dedicated PTA that works diligently to support our students.  Please stop by the PTA tables to receive hot lunch forms and learn more about how you can help this organization that provides meaningful learning opportunities for your children. 

 Jane Addams Annual Block Party
 On Information Day, we will be holding our Annual Block Party from 4:30 p.m – 6 p.m. This will provide an opportunity for our Addams students and parents to mingle with some of the Addams staff. Old Town Pizza and Culvers on Wise Road will be generously donating some pizza, water and custard. Bring a blanket and enjoy some DJ music and good friends.  See the picture at the top of this email or the attached document for more information about the block party.
