Dear Adams Elementary School Families,
Black Lives Matter in School
The week of February 1-5 is Black Lives Matter in School Week of Action. The week of action is a time set aside to affirm all black identities by centering black voices, empowering students, and teaching about black experiences beyond slavery. Your students will be engaging in learning and discussion on topics involving critical issues of social justice in their classrooms daily. Many of these topics will be a continuation of the work already being done through our SEL time and topics covered in our curriculum. All the lessons will be anchored to the 13 guiding principles. Your student's classroom teacher will be communicating a more detailed plan for their work. Please feel free to ask them questions along the way.
Upcoming Scheduling and Assessments
Between now and mid-winter break, our teachers will be assessing students in reading and math. We have given them permission to be creative with schedules and support each other to allow for small group and 1:1 assessment to be conducted. Your student's teachers will communicate directly with you around any schedule changes. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.
Art Update The Adam's Art Team led our teachers and students in one of our favorite schoolwide art projects, self-portraits. Since they are not on our walls due to remote learning, we have them on our website. Please access them using this link.
Doug, Kelly and Tom
