This is the final Adler Gazette of the 2023-2024 school year. It is hard to believe another year has come and gone. We are so thankful for your support (parents, guardians, grandparents, neighbors, and friends). Together, we make Adler an amazing place!

I wish you and your family a wonderful and safe summer.

June 3 - 5th Grade Celebration

June 4 - Field Day

June 6 - Last Day of School - Early Release at 1:15 pm

If your child has medication in the nurse's office, a parent or guardian will need to pick it up by noon on the last day of school, Thursday, June 6th. The only medication a student can transport home in a backpack is their inhaler.

If your child will be attending Summer School and requires medication, please make sure to bring it to the summer school nurse on the first day with a current order.

Thank you so much,

Mrs. Panov

On the last day of school, students and their trusted adults (parents/guardians/etc.) are invited to enjoy some ice cream by the Adler Warming House. Yay!

Plan on bringing cash or card. All students must be supervised. Transportation is not provided. All families interested in taking part in the ice cream truck must opt for parent-pick-up rather than taking the bus home.

Adler's front office will be open through the month of June from 8:00-3:30 Monday through Thursday.

It will be closed in July and reopen in August from 7:30-3:30 daily.

We are excited to announce that Adler Park will be adding a new staff member at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year–a therapy dog named Kaylee! She is a therapy dog from Canines 4 Comfort who will be working with Mrs. Lindsay (Adler’s school social worker). Many local districts and schools have chosen to take on a therapy dog because of their amazing impact on kids and staff members alike. Copeland Manor school also has a therapy dog named Dante.

Therapy dogs are expertly trained dogs that partner with a facilitator working in a professional setting, such as a school. Canines 4 Comfort facility dogs are trustworthy in professional environments and can perform over 40 commands designated to motivate, inspire, and calm students with or without special needs.

Kaylee is a 2 year old Standard Poodle. Kaylee was carefully bred and expertly trained by Canines 4 Comfort specifically for this type of work, so she is not only friendly and fun, but she is also very sweet and gentle. Kaylee was provided by Canines 4 Comfort free of charge.

Below are some guidelines that are required for our school and for Kaylee:

• Kaylee provides services in Mrs. Lindsay’s office in the school. She may be present for SAIG groups, individual therapy, classroom circle lessons, and more.

• Kaylee is required to be properly identified at all times as a working facility dog with a scarf.

• Kaylee remains with Mrs. Lindsay while on property. When not providing services, she is resting in Mrs. Lindsay’s office or Mrs. Miller’s office.

• Mrs. Lindsay and Kaylee will attend weekly training and practice sessions together to ensure ongoing opportunities for growth and learning new therapeutic techniques to support our Adler Community.

• Please always ask before you pet Kaylee; she loves to shake hands, but it’s important to ask first so that if she’s working with someone, she’s not distracted.

• All students will learn about Kaylee at an assembly at the beginning of next school year so that they can ask questions and understand the guidelines when working with a therapy dog.

If your child is allergic to dogs or fearful of dogs, please speak to Mrs. Panov (Adler School Nurse) or Kendall Miller (building principal) to notify them of your child’s allergies and the accommodations your child requires.

All Adler Gators are encouraged to prioritize summer reading this year! To get you started, all Adler students received a free book this week during their library class that they can keep forever.

Cook Memorial Public Library District has a fabulous summer reading program that kicks off tonight at Aspen Drive Library at 6:30 pm, or you can sign up at any location or online starting tomorrow, Saturday, June 1.

Congrats to Mr. C for his joyful spirit and constant ability to teach our kids how to win and lose.

Congrats to Mrs. Koenig for giving her all and running the 1/2 mile with her students.

Congrats to Mrs. Zeinz and Mrs. Buttitta for making an impact by pushing into the classrooms and loving our kids!

Congrats to Rosa, our night custodian for keeping our beautiful building healthy & clean. You are kind and thoughtful!

Students and Staff celebrated the end of the year with an awards assembly. Students were recognized for their participation in Student Council, chorus, band, orchestra, Continental Math League, bowling, basketball, cheerleading, and more!

Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Sizelove also enjoyed a special standing ovation from Adler students and their colleagues to celebrate their retirement at the end of the year.
