We need your help! District 186 is in need of crossing guards at a few of our elementary schools to help make sure our students can get to and from school safely.
These positions are great for someone who enjoys children and would like to help out at a school for only two hours per day. Our crossing guards are an important part of District 186. You are the first smile our students see in the morning and the last smile they see before they get home.
If you have an interest in this position or know someone that might, please visit the HR page to view current openings and complete an application online or at the Administrative Center located at 1900 West Monroe.
If there are any questions, please contact Human Resources at 217-525-3000.
There will be no school on Monday, February 20th due to Presidents' Day.
You don't want to miss this!
Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum collected our student's artwork and then had the pieces professionally framed and hung to create an exhibit at the museum.
All of the pieces of art were either created by an African American artist or they depict the African American experience.
We appreciate the AAHM & their commitment to showcasing our students' work in celebrating Black History.
You can visit the gallery February 18th - March 31st, Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 4:00 p.m.
This is a reminder that APTT will be taking place tomorrow from 4:30-5:30 at Addams. Parents will be meeting with teachers while students are having fun at a dance party! Child care will be provided for younger siblings. A light grab and go dinner will also be provided. If you have any questions, contact your child's teacher or call the office at 787-3144.
Here are some events from the Springfield Park District.
We wanted to share some information on how an e-learning day would look if we have them at any point this winter. While we have no information about an e-learning day due to the weather forecast this week, we feel it is important to share this information with families in advance: (message 1 of 3)
Jane Addams Jaguars hosted their annual trick or treat event for families! They transformed their hallways into fun scenes for students and their families to walk through and collect candy and treats!
District 186 families!
Any pre -k , kindergarten, 6th grade, 9th grade, 12th grade and new students to District 186 - please turn in your child's proof of physical and immunization information as soon as possible.
If your child’s physical and immunizations have not yet been turned in or scheduled, your child will be excluded from school on September 6, 2022.
Because of the demand for appointments and immunization in our community, the Board of Education is allowing school nurses to accept documentation of your child’s scheduled physical and immunizations so that they may remain in school. This documentation of an appointment must be brought to the school on Sept. 6 in order for a student to remain.
Appointments must be scheduled between now and October 14, 2022. After October 15 all students who do not have proper documentation of completed immunizations and physicals will be excluded from school.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.
Please turn in your physical and immunization forms ASAP! It is very important to make sure your student's records are up to date with your school. Students without their information turned in will be excluded from school starting September 6th.
