John Adams Elementary School
Neighborhood News - September 2019
A Message from Dr. Harrell
Hello Parents and Family Members,
I can't believe it is already September! We are off to a great start and your children are learning and growing every day. This month we will host our first family engagement event of the year, literacy night. Part of the mission of John Adams is to build unity through relationships with students, family and the community. Parent engagement events, scheduled throughout the year, are critical in helping us accomplish our mission. More information about this event can be found below. We hope that you can join us on September 19th for "Adams Goes Arctic"!
Make sure to check the JAES School Calendar linked below for all of September's events!
Have a great long weekend!
Kelley Harrell
BOOK FAIR WEEK!
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Below are several reminders about Arrival and Dismissal Procedures at John Adams. Remember, these procedures are put in place to ensure student safety.
- Our doors open to students at 7:30am. Student dismissal begins at 3:15pm.
- Please make sure your car tag is displayed on your rear view mirror when using afternoon car line. You must have your car tag to go through afternoon car line or you will be asked to park and enter the building to pick up your child.
- During morning drop off, please have your child exit from the passenger side of the vehicle. If a parent must exit the vehicle for any reason, please park and walk your child to the front. Getting out causes significant delays in car line.
- Please refrain from using your cell phone during drop off and pick up.
- If you are the first car in the car line during pick up, please drive past lane one and pull up to the end of the sidewalk.
- Please make sure you follow the traffic pattern printed on the back of your car tag.
- During pick up, please stay in the pick up line and DO NOT pass the vehicles in front of you, unless you are directed by a JAES staff member.
- Vehicles should only drop off and pick up in the front of the school (with the exception of Kindergarten car line in the afternoon). The area behind the school is for walkers, van riders, and bus riders only.
