This is a friendly reminder that next week is Midwinter Break. School will be closed from Monday, February 17, through Friday, February 21. Classes will resume on Monday, February 24, 2025.
As we navigate through February, we have a few important updates to share:
We wanted to take a moment to remind our community about our district’s Truancy (Attendance) Policy and its impact on students, particularly concerning attendance in the first hour of the school day.
As the weather has turned bitterly cold, we want to remind you of a few important procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students.
Morning Arrival
The breakfast doors will not open until 7:20 AM. Please ensure your child is not dropped off earlier, as we cannot guarantee supervision or provide shelter before this time.Afternoon Pickup
Students who are picked up after school are not permitted to wait inside the building. Our staff members have after-school meeting and coaching obligations, leaving no adult supervision available for students remaining in the building. We kindly ask that you plan for prompt pickup at dismissal time to avoid students waiting outside in the cold.
There is no school on Monday, January 20th as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. School will resume on Tuesday, Janaury 21, 2025. Students will attend their first hour class, and will be issued their new schedule for Semester II.
As we approach the end of Semester One, we want to take a moment to share some important updates and celebrate our students’ achievements.
Semester One Wrap-Up:
The first semester will officially end on Friday, January 17th. Please note that Thursday, January 16th, and Friday, January 17th, are half days of school. Dismissal will be at 11:00 am, so please make arrangements accordingly.
Happy New Year! We hope you had a restful and enjoyable Winter Break, and we’re excited to see everyone back in the building, ready to start 2025 strong.
As we return, it’s important to note that we only have two weeks remaining in the first semester. The semester concludes on Friday, January 17. This is a perfect time to check in on grades and missing assignments. Use these final weeks to get caught up and finish the semester on a positive note. Remember, a strong finish can make a big difference!
We want to take a moment to wish you all a joyous and peaceful time with your loved ones. May your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished memories.
Please note that there will be no school from December 24, 2024, through January 3, 2025. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday, January 6, 2025, refreshed and ready to start the new year together.
As we approach the final week of school before Winter Break, we want to take a moment to reflect on the year so far and extend our warmest wishes to all of our students and families for a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year. It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the halfway point of the school year!
This week at Adams, we’ve experienced something truly different, no phones or internet at school. While it’s been a challenge at times, it’s also been a refreshing reminder of the power of connection and creativity when we step away from technology.
As we prepare to welcome the final month of 2024, we have an exciting week ahead with two home basketball games! Please note the following requirements for students to attend:
- Eligibility: Students must have fewer than three tardies and no suspensions.
- Identification: Students are required to present their school ID for entry.
We kindly ask parents to ensure timely pick-up after the games. With earlier sunsets and colder weather, students will need to wait outside for their rides after the games conclude.
