Hello Adams' Tigers!
We have completely revamped all of our procedures and added so much to the campus to ensure our students' safety for the return of our Modified In Person (MIP) students! With about 50% of our students wanting to remain remote - we did have to make some changes and we appreciate your understanding and patience with that daunting task.
One of the biggest changes that may affect some of our MIP parents is that we can no longer have parents on campus at all. So during drop off and pick up we had to completely change our procedures. We are making a video to explain this for both parents, students, and staff. Here are the written procedures. Here they are in Spanish.
We will make sure your students completely understand these procedures so that everyone can stay as safe as possible as that is our number one priority!
Thank you as always for your support!
Principal Montez
Please have your child practice wearing their mask so they are ready to have it on for extended periods when they return to school!

Pick-up time is 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Students will receive two meals, lunch for the day and breakfast for the next.
Meals can be picked up at any school location and students do not need to be present. Parents, students or designees will need to provide the student's name, ID number or date of birth, and name of school currently attending.
The district will be operating the regular school meals program, so pricing policies are in effect. To promote cashless transactions, the food & nutrition department will encourage parents to submit payment through myschoolbucks.com, which is waiving transaction fees until September 30, 2020. Meal prices remain unchanged.
When we transition to Modified In Person learning school meals will change to the following procedures:
Remote learners - Parents will pre-order school meals a week ahead on the food & nutrition website. Meals will be available at the 18 secondary schools and parents will choose the site for pick up when placing an order. Meal pick up will be 7-7:30 a.m. at high schools and 7:30-8 a.m. at junior high schools on Monday (food for Monday and Tuesday) and Wednesday (food for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday).
Modified in-person learners - School meals will be available in the cafeteria during breakfast and lunch for students in attendance. Parents may pre-order meals a week ahead if they want take-home meals for days when their child is remote learning. Students will pick up meals near the end of the day in the cafeteria. Monday students will receive food for Tuesday and Wednesday; Tuesday students for Wednesday and Thursday; Thursday students for Friday; and Friday students for Monday.
On-Site support center students - Meals will be available in the cafeteria during breakfast & lunch.
