OPEN HOUSE AND ART SHOW

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our staff and students as we highlighted the incredible work accomplished this year.  Our students have grown so much and they were proud to show off their growth. Thank you to Mrs. Leo for putting together such a fabulous Art Show. The amount of work and talent displayed was wonderful to see! 

 

CALM CORNER

As we end the year, let's reflect on all the progress we have all made. In order to continue to grow and succeed, we must also acknowledge our area of growth. As your school counselor, this is the time I take to reflect back and remind myself of all the progress I see in my students. I want to share a document with you called “Thinking Errors.” Please review this with your students or read on your own. This is a reminder to all of us, on the way we or our students may think. Our thoughts become our actions, whether they are positive or negative. Practicing to be mindful of what we think, can help us make healthy/positive decisions. Have a wonderful weekend and remember, we got this!

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!

 

LOST AND FOUND

Please stop by the lost and found to claim your items before the end of the school year! We have many sweatshirts, jackets, water bottles and lunch boxes. All remaining items will be donated on the last day of school Thursday, June 13.
