Adams Latest News
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.
As the season of gratitude approaches, we want to take a moment to express how thankful we are for our wonderful Adams community. Your ongoing support and partnership play a vital role in creating a positive and enriching environment for our students.
In recent weeks, you may have received notifications about incidents that required us to contact the Westland Police Department. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of creating a safe environment for our students and staff. It’s crucial that we all work together to reinforce the values of respect, kindness, and responsibility, both in and out of the classroom.
As the weather turns colder, we want to make sure all our students are staying warm and cozy. Please remind them to bring a coat for dismissal, as students will need to wait outside for their rides. To support our staff who have meetings after school, we kindly ask that all students are picked up by 3:00 p.m. Thank you for helping us ensure everyone’s safety!
It's hard to believe we're already a quarter of the way through the school year! This week is an exciting one for our students as we host our first PBIS event—the Fall Ball! The dance will take place on Wednesday, October 30th, from 3:00 to 4:30 PM. Tickets for the Fall Ball are $5.00. We will also have pizza, pop, and snacks available for students to purchase for $1.00 each.
