From the Principal's Desk
Dear ADL Parents and Families,
We will begin our second trimester the week we return from the break. Our new 6th graders have adjusted so well this fall and have been a truly wonderful addition to our student body. 7th and 8th graders have made the transition to new teams and grade level expectations and have been working hard. The school day and schedule at ADL is very busy-I am glad our students have this week to rest and regroup.
I am wishing all of our families a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you for your terrific support of our school community at ADL.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Wood
P.E. Teacher of the Year
