From the Principal...
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope that the Adams family enjoyed some time together and I am thankful for the sunny days that we had. We are down to just 8 short weeks of school, but they are going to be very busy with events, instruction, and assessments.
We have many things to celebrate as we continue to strive to be the best we can be. Our IREAD results for 3rd grade should be coming in at the end of this week. More information will be coming home soon regarding your child’s score. Please watch for this VERY IMPORTANT information. The parent reports will be sent home within the next two weeks.
Congratulations to Jessica Johnson, our instructional coach!. She is Adams Elementary’ s 2017 Teacher of the Year! I personally want to thank Jessica for all of the work she does for our teachers and students! She also makes a positive impact for our staff as she always has a positive attitude and a smile on her face.
I want to thank our PTS for all of their hard work in planning for our biggest event of the year. They are hosting our Spring Fling on April 14 from 5:30-9:00PM. Donations are due by April 12.
The second round of ISTEP+ will begin on April 17. All students in grades 3-5 will take the multiple choice portion online this year. We will be testing until May 5. ATTENDANCE is crucial!! Thank you for not scheduling any appointments during school hours during this time.
Once again, thank you to all of our VIP volunteers and parents who help us daily. We could not succeed without YOU!!!! Look ahead at our events calendar. We have many exciting events scheduled to wrap up another successful year at Adams Elementary.
Always learning,
Mrs. Schoene
