From the Principal…

Cindy Schwaninger
Principal, Adams Elementary School

Welcome to the Adams Elementary website! In August, 2008, we opened the doors of our beautiful new school creating a community focused on academic success. Our priority continues to 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.

Our school is organized into grade level instructional teams; kindergarten through fifth grade. We also host one afternoon session of the ExCITE preschool program. All staff works 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 technology, art, music, library media and physical education use their talents and expertise to deliver a rich, well-rounded program.

At Adams, we 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 guides our planning for individual success. There are two guiding principles for acceptable behavior: first, it is never okay to be hurtful; and second, it is never okay to be disruptive. We strive to implement common expectations across all programming beginning with before school childcare and ending with after school childcare, clubs, and activities.

I invite you to explore the Adams website to learn about past and upcoming events. We are very fortunate to have a strong Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.), which focuses their efforts on improving programming for the children. They are an amazing group, so be sure to check out their website at the parent tab located at the top of the home page.

Warmest regards,

Cindy Schwaninger
