Dear Adams Middle School Families,
It’s hard to believe we’re entering week four of the school year! Our students have settled into their routines, learning is happening in classrooms, and our student-athletes are working hard. Some teams have even started competing, and we’re proud to share some great news:
- Our boys' soccer team won against Franklin!
- The girls' cross-country team took first place, while the boys’ team earned a close second.
- Volleyball tryouts had an incredible turnout! While we would have loved to keep all the athletes, we had to make some tough cuts. We appreciate everyone's interest and effort.

I need to address an important issue that requires your attention. We need your support in discussing with your children the consequences of making threats and then dismissing them with phrases like "I was just joking" or "I wasn’t being serious." At Adams, we are dedicated to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for every child, and we approach these matters with the highest level of concern.
Please talk to your children about the real dangers and potential consequences of making false threats. It is crucial for them to understand that such actions are not taken lightly and that the excuse of "I was joking" is not acceptable.
We are including a letter from the Wayne County Prosecuting Office to provide more information and help guide this conversation. Our goal is to ensure that every child feels secure and valued while at Adams. We encourage your children to always reach out to an adult if they are ever in need of support or guidance.
As parents ourselves, we understand the worries you face, and we want to assure you that we are dedicated to maintaining a safe and caring environment for all students. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us reinforce the importance of safety and respect.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Bukosky
Principal, Adams Middle School
