Good Afternoon Families,

We had a great first week at school! It was wonderful to have students back in the building.

On Tuesday, we have our first PAC meeting of the year. All are welcome to attend. The meetings begins at 6:30.

Students in grades 2-5 begin MAP testing this week. MAP tests are a great opportunity for students to show their teachers how much they know. We know our Adams students will rock them!
