Dear Adams' Fam!!
You did it!!! You helped our students gain so much learning this school year! Looking at our data our students really have made tremendous growth. Be careful to not just look at how many are proficient or highly proficient but how many moved within their categories because they may have moved from low minimally proficient to partially proficient which is wonderful. They also could have been at the very lowest of partially proficient and moved all the way to the top of partially proficient! I'm proud of the obvious improvements our students have made from their academics to their cafeteria behavior and I thank you ALL for that!
Please know that you can walk away from this school year being very proud of the work you have all done!
Thanks again for all you continue to do for our students!

Teacher Talk
Just another shout out to our rooms that the Flagstaff AVID visitors toured - Ms. Schein, Ms. Sage, Ms. Short, Ms. DeVere & Ms. Bamper! This is the feedback we got from the visit - This was an email from the director from AVID to Lindsay Linoff:
Hey! Sorry for the late response, but Adams was AMAZING!!! They really set it up for us to see some awesome work being done in the classrooms. It was exactly what Flagstaff wanted to see.
Your schools are a true testament to the hard work you are doing with them and guiding them to greatness.
You are truly an inspiration!
