BOOK SWAP

It's time for the annual Book Swap! Trade in your books for some new summer reading! Bring in your gently used books and swap with your friends at Adams! Everyone has books at home they have read, and re-read, and now you can trade them in for new ones! All students are encouraged to bring 1 to 5 books from home to school during drop-off, which will be Monday, June 3 through Wednesday, June 5 from 8:00-8:30 am in Room 1. Students will receive one ticket for each book they bring in to swap and can receive up to five tickets. We appreciate your intentionality in bringing gently used books. The Book Swap will be on Thursday, June 6. 

 

END-OF-YEAR REMINDERS

We still have three weeks of school left so please make sure your student is here every day, on time, and ready to learn. That includes  a good night's sleep, focused and responsible. All grades have end-of-year assessments taking place over the course of the rest of the year, many are whole groups and some one-on-one, and any absence disrupts that. These test scores help us to build classes for next year and complete report cards. We also have many special end-of-year activities that we do not want to have students miss for poor behavior so remind them to put their best foot forward each day as they get out of the car or onto the bus! Please do not schedule vacations or plan to leave the school year early. We want you all here till the very end!
