From the Principal…

Welcome to the Adams Elementary School web site! I am honored to have been selected to open this new school and look forward to working with staff, students and parents to create a community focused on academic excellence. Our priority will be student learning insuring every student is challenged to achieve or exceed grade level district and state expectations. We will accept no limits on the learning potential of any child.

The school will be organized into grade level instructional teams; kindergarten through fifth grade. All staff will work closely with the administrative team to provide focused instruction as we implement a rigorous academic program across every grade level. In addition, specialists in the areas of art, music, technology, library media, and physical education will use their talents and expertise to deliver a rich, well-rounded program.

At Adams, we will provide a safe, orderly, respectful environment which promotes high levels of student engagement and performance. Honoring the diversity and unique strengths and talents of each student will guide our planning for individual success. There will be two guiding principles for acceptable behavior: first, it is never okay to be hurtful; and second, it is never okay to be disruptive. We will strive to implement common expectations across all programming beginning with before school childcare and ending with after school childcare, clubs, and activities.

I look forward to meeting the future Adams students and families and assure you several opportunities will be available for visitations with teachers and with me. Family support will be essential as we establish a parent organization at Adams. Plan to check this site periodically for updates regarding registration, informational meetings, hiring of staff, and construction progress. Please contact me at Hawthorne School, 436-1141 or email cschwan@lps.org if you have questions.

Warmest regards,

Cindy Schwaninger
