Happy Valentine’s Day!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and enjoyed the Superbowl halftime show as much as I did!

Dear Jahn Families,




Chicago Public Schools is requiring all families to submit a COVID19 Attestation Form to verify your understanding of CPS health and safety protocols.  Look for a paper version of the form in your child’s backpack and return to your homeroom teacher by Friday, February 11th.




On February 14th, K-4 homeroom teachers will be allowed to host a short friendship party to allow students to exchange messages.  Students are not allowed to bring candy or sweets to school.  If students would like to bring something, it should be non-edible treats like pencils, etc.  Students in grades 5-8 will have a friendship dance on Friday, February 11th from 2-3 in the gymnasium.  This event will be organized by our Student Council.

I hope this email finds you well, and that you are prepared for the next winter storm to arrive on Tuesday evening!

We held our January LSC meeting last week on Wednesday, January 26th. I am sharing the LSC Principal Report for your review. Also, LSC elections will be held this spring, and everyone is encouraged to run for a position! If interested, please contact our LSC coordinator, Margo Innocente, in the main office for more information and to get an application packet. Applications are due in the main office by 3pm on Friday, March 4th. Candidates must bring the original application to the main office, as we are unable to accept the application via email or fax. The candidate forum date will be announced soon.

Dear Jahn Families,

I hope you are enjoying the snow!
