Fun Run is this Friday!
The ADAMS ELEMENTARY FUN RUN is so close! This is one of our major fundraisers of the year, and our goal is to raise $13000 for ADAMS ELEMENTARY
Here’s how you can help:
Register your student on FUNRUN.COM (it’s not too late)
Sharing on Facebook, through email, or text for a fun, easy way to ask for a pledge from friends, family, or even local businesses!
Come cheer on your student(s) at the Fun Run this Friday, October 4.
Every student is invited to run!
Each Grade will run during their “SPECIALS” time (see the Adams Elementary PTO Facebook page for more details)
Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately. This event will be outside (weather permitting)

From the Nurse
Influenza:
Flu season is upon us and will continue into spring. Peak season is sometimes as late as February. The influenza symptoms are fever, aches, sore throat, cough, headache, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting/diarrhea. It is the perfect time to get a flu shot for yourself and your child. The CDC recommends getting a flu shot by the end of October, but receiving the vaccinate at any point during flu season offers important protection against the virus. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body. The Marion County Health Department has flu shots for $20 for children, but they recommend that you call prior to coming to confirm availability. The south district office is located at 7551 Shelby St. Suite 200 Indianapolis IN 46227, phone number 221-5700. Influenza can be a mild illness for most healthy individuals, but people with health conditions are at increased risk of complications. The quick guidelines are to keep your kids home until they have been fever-free for 24 hrs without fever-reducing medicine prior to returning or vomiting/diarrhea free for 24 hrs prior to return. We recognize a fever as a temp over 100 degrees. So, thank you for following our guidelines and keeping your kids home when they are ill. This protects our kids at school who have conditions that could lead to complications from an illness such as influenza, and this will help your child fully recover and be less likely to have complications themselves. Keep encouraging them to wash their hands. It is the easiest and most effective way to avoid illness.
I have included a link from the Community website that includes a very cute hand washing video that you might want to watch with your child.

Vision Referrals:
The vision referral forms for 1st-5th grades have been sent home in the child's folder or given out at conferences. If you have not received a notice and your child is 1st-5th grade, you can assume your child passed the screening. If you have any questions about the testing or returning information after seeing a vision professional, please phone the clinic at 860-4289. If you got a referral notice and your student has glasses but forgot to wear them, please just let me know. I have some resources if the cost is keeping your student from an eye exam. I sent these home prior to fall break because I hope that will be a good time for scheduling an appointment if your child was referred.
Veteran's Day Program
We look look forward to celebrating with you.
From the Art Room
It's been a privilege teaching your children in art and music for the past three years. Mrs. McQueen is coming back after fall break from her maternity leave and I will go back to daily subbing throughout the district. I have enjoyed developing relationships with your children and the great staff at Adams Elementary. Although I am officially retired, I still love teaching and I'm sure I'll see many of you around in the future.

Transportation Changes
If there is a change in transportation for students at the end of the day, we ask that you please write it in your student's planner or send a note in. There are days the assigned teacher is out and unable to check email, dojo, or voicemail. Phone calls to change dismissal should be made at the front office before 2:30.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Safety Reminders
- Students should be dropped off in the car rider line and not in the front of the school.
- Once the tardy bell has rung and staff is no longer present in the car rider area, you must walk your student into the building and sign them in at the front office.
- Please be prepared to show a picture ID when visiting a student or picking up a student.
- If you are picking up a student on a regular basis, you must have a car rider number and go through the car rider line unless other arrangements have been made.
