Dear Jahn Families,
Below you will find a communication from the CPS Student Transportation Team about changes to our school’s bell times for the 2025-26 school year. I urge you to review this communication carefully, as these changes will have an impact on our daily schedule for next year.
CPS is facing several issues going into the next school year, including a continued shortage of school bus drivers and limited financial resources. The District is working on a number of solutions to address these challenges, including shifting bell times at a number of CPS schools for the 2025-26 school year.
The daily schedule for Jahn School of Fine Arts next school year will be as follows:
- New Arrival Time: 8:30 am
- New Dismissal Time: 3:30 pm
- Effective Date: Monday, August 18, 2025
We know that changes like this are never easy, and that these new times may require you to make some adjustments in your daily routines. We appreciate your flexibility and assure you that your school will work to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone.
Please complete the 2025-26 Before School Care Interest Form [Spanish version] by Thursday, July 10th, if you anticipate needing a before school care option at Jahn.
We thank you for your understanding as CPS works to achieve much-needed cost savings while maximizing bus transportation for those students who depend on it to get safely to and from school. We invite you to contact [email protected] with any questions about this schedule change, and wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer break.
Sincerely,
Jahn Administration
Dr. Campos and Dr. Ferreras
