Character Education…Our Shared Responsibility
Dear Families,
Character education teaches the habits of thought and deeds that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nations. Our staff at Adams Elementary are looking for students who are demonstrating Fortitude, which is our character word this month.
Please encourage your child to practice each word of the month. There is a different character word each month. Teachers recognize one student every month who stands out demonstrating each trait.

Mrs. Russell's Update
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. This is a nationally recognized program used throughout the Yakima School District. One of the textbook definitions is: "Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a way for schools to encourage good behavior. With PBIS, schools teach kids about behavior, just as they would teach about other subjects like reading or math." Our staff teaches lessons on how to follow our BARK expectations in many different areas of our school. This helps to create a consistent environment for our students and staff and build community.
Our Adams BARK expectations are:
B: Be Responsible
A: Always Do Your Best
R: Respect Others, Self, and Property
K: Keep Safe
Introducing Our New Student and Community Advocate
Student and Community Advocate
I am blessed and thankful to be able to make a difference for our students, school and community. I truly believe that even a small amount of kindness can make a big difference in someone's world.
At Community in Schools we support students in ways that go beyond the classroom by connecting and bringing resources into the school. It prepares students for the future by working with partners to improve their academics, behavior/social emotional and attendance.

Office Tips
Attendance
Dear Parents,
Attendance is a key factor to having your child succeed in school. Therefore, it is very important that your child is at school on time. . . EVERYDAY. Students who miss just one or two days of school each month can fall seriously behind and lead to doing poorly in school and are more likely to not graduate. Every absence even if it is excused matters. They are missing learning when they are not here.
You are key to improving your child’s attendance.
On the flyer below there are a couple tips on how your child can be at school on time.
Sincerely,
Your Office Staff
School Hours
Early check out on Mondays will be no later then 2:00pm. From Tuesday to Friday it will end no later then 3:00pm. Students will not longer be released after, parents will have to wait patiently for the student to be released by their teacher.
If for some reason you have an emergency and are not able to pick up your student on time, please give the office a call at (509)573-5100.
Thank you,
Adams Office Staff
