A Message from Dr. Harrell
Welcome back to John Adams Elementary School! We are so excited to get the 2019-20 school year started. We are looking forward to working with you as we continue to provide our students with a high quality education, a safe and nurturing environment, and a fun school experience.
I feel so blessed to join the Adams Family! Please reach out to me if I can be of assistance to your or your child(ren). I am looking forward to a great school year ahead! #AdamsPRIDE
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.
- For the first week of school, parents may escort students to their classroom beginning at 8:05am. Parents who arrive prior to 8:05am may wait in the lobby area. Please work on giving your child independence to find his or her own way to class. Beginning Monday, August 12th, we ask that all students are dropped off in car line and make their way to class on their own. We have multiple adults positioned throughout the building to help students find their way if needed. As always, parents are welcome to come to the office if you have any needs or questions.
- Please make sure your car tag is displayed on your rear view mirror. We will only accept last year's car tags on Monday. By Tuesday, August 6th, you must have your new car tag to go through car line or you will be asked to park and enter the building to get your new car tag.
- During morning drop off, please have your child exit from the passenger side of the vehicle.
- 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.
