Dear Adams Elementary School Families:
Thank you for all that you’ve done this year to support our students and school. It was a challenging year, but together we made the most of it and now as the school year is winding down, we can start to talk about and plan for the next school year.
It sure looks like we might be back on a regular schedule this fall, which is very exciting. We don’t know at this time exactly what that might look like. For example, will there be field trips? Will we eat lunch together? What will be the start and end times? We hope to learn more about next year before school is out in June, but we want to assure you that as information becomes available over the summer, we will let you know what we learn.
Year-end Assessments
As we mentioned in a recent email, we are now doing assessments for reading and math in every classroom. We hope to get a clearer picture of where students are with their understanding of specific concepts with this data, and this will help us plan what to teach at the start of the year.
Class Lists
We will be building class lists for next year soon, so we want to let you know that if you have a request for a placement, like a request for your student to be in a class with at least one friend, please email Doug. Your request should not include a request for a specific teacher.
Laptop and iPad Returns
We are asking that you return the district-issued iPads and laptops on one of the following days: Thursday, June 17, Friday, June 18 or Monday, June 21.
If your student will be enrolled in either the Extended School Year or Summer of Learning programs, please let us know. You will need to keep the device, but we will want to make sure it is updated, so we can work something out.
Assistant Principal News
Finally, we are sad to say that we will be hiring for a .5 AP this spring/summer. Kelly Walter, our current AP, has accepted a full time position at Hazel Wolf K-8. Her position at Adams was reduced to .5 due to a drop in enrollment. We will keep you posted on who will be next to join our team.
Doug, Kelly and Tom
