Adler Elementary School has a new location for the 2023-2024 school year. The Adler school community is now located in the newly renovated Eisenhower Elementary School.

This exciting move became possible during the summer months when the District worked diligently to bring Eisenhower up to code and ensure its readiness as part of our 10-year 2022 Capital Facilities Bond program. As part of this program, several of our schools will temporarily call Eisenhower home while their own facilities undergo renovations over the next years.

In anticipation of the new school year, the District organized an Open House event, inviting Adler parents, students, and staff to explore and become acquainted with Eisenhower before the first day of school. Our district communications team captured the enthusiasm and excitement as parents and students toured the building.

On September 13th, Levey held their annual House Sorting Day where 6th graders were placed in one of the four houses; Isibindi, Amistad, Reveur, or Alturismo.

Isibindi - means "courage" in Zulu

Amistad - means "friendship" in Spanish

Reveur - means "dreamer" in French

Alturismo - means "the givers" in Portuguese
