REMINDERS FROM PREVIOUS THURSDAY MESSAGES:
SIXTH GRADE PROMOTION
Although some schools will be having in-person promotion ceremonies, due to our large class size, staff size, construction, and the amount of planning and recording that has already taken place before finding out about the lifting of various restrictions for outdoor events, Adams will not be having ours in person. We will encourage students to still get dressed up and celebrate this momentous occasion with their families during the school day on June 1st. Each class will be given a specific one-hour window of time to come on campus to collect their awards and promotion certificate, and take a photo in their dressy attire with their teacher and/or family in a socially distancing safe format. In the afternoon on June 1st, sixth-grade students will enjoy a pizza party on the kindergarten field. A prerecorded video link will be sent to all sixth-grade parents and students for their viewing on June 1st at 7 PM, AFTER logging into a Zoom Session where brief announcements will be made. Understanding this is an important time in these scholars' educational careers, our desire was to offer a somewhat traditional ceremony with a modern and quirky technology-based savviness. We wish these Tigers all the best and due to confidentiality reasons we will not share the link with the entire school, and we will ask that families save the viewing for themselves and not share the link outside our sixth-grade circle. More information will be shared in the weeks to come. See Schedule below:
9:00 to 10:00 Miss Phoenix’ Class Photo Opportunity in the Front of the School
11:00 to 12:00 Mrs. Van Lant’s Class Photo Opportunity in the Front of the School
12:30 to 1:30 Mr. Lovejoy’s Class Photo Opportunity in the Front of the School
1:30 - 2:30 6th Grade Pizza Luncheon
