PYP Learner Profile Attribute Student of the Month
During the month of January, students and staff at Adams have been focusing on developing the PYP learner profile attribute inquirer. Inquirers are passionate about learning new information. Additionally, they research topics they are curious about in order to find answers to questions they have. For these reasons, inquirers are lifelong learners.
The following students are being recognized for their exceptional inquiry skills throughout the month of January:
- K: Kavi Mahabir-Doty, Saige Standridge
- 1: Logan Burke, Sofia Bacchus
- 3: Jack Arrand
- 4: Harleen Bambhania, Lexi Wood
- 5: Mason Zimmerman, Carter Verona
Through the month of January, students and staff at Adams have been focusing on developing the SEL concept of social awareness. Social awareness is the ability to understand the perspectives of others and empathize with their feelings and mindset in a productive way. It involves understanding how other people feel and what they need, making an effort to be kind and helpful to them. Social awareness also means paying attention to the rules and ways people behave in different situations.
The following students are being recognized as self-managed during the month of January:
- K: Warner Palmer, Tyler Winters
- 1: Arya Larson, Haley Jezierski
- 3: Brooklyn Welzel
- 4: Kennedy Jones
- 5: Max Kroll
Way to go, Adams Atoms!

Lost and Found
Please label your child's belongings to help us return them promptly to their owners. Any unclaimed items will be donated at the end of each semester. We encourage students to check the lost and found regularly, as we have accumulated many misplaced items, including jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and other personal belongings.
Reporting Absences - A Reason is Needed
Parents/Guardians can report student(s) absent via ParentVUE. This feature appears as a blue "Report Absences" button on the app's main page or website.
For each absence reported, parents/guardians must provide a reason. If you report your student as sick, please list the symptoms your student is experiencing. The note will help school attendance staff select the correct attendance code. If no reason is provided the absence will not be excused.
Parents/Guardians can report absences for a single day or multiple days.
Report each student individually. Do not enter additional students in the notes section.
If you have a legal or medical document, please upload it with the absence or provide it to the school attendance staff upon your student's return. Parents/guardians can still call to report an absence at 989-923-6037.
