MPS District Vision
The MPS District Vision: Lead with respect, trust and courage. Ensure an equitable, collaborative and inclusive culture. Enable all to achieve success. At Adams Elementary we follow the vision and the work the district is doing with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by introducing a vocabulary word to students each month. The word is introduced, and defined, at the morning meeting at least once each week of the month. We also include PYP Learner Profile Attributes. The word(s) for September is inclusion. Inclusion- all are welcome, respected, supported, and valued. The PYP attribute for September is risk-taker. Be sure and ask your student about the words shared at morning meeting.
Kindergarten Curriculum Night
Thursday, September 5, Kindergarten Curriculum Night 5:30 p.m. This meeting is for parents only. We look forward to seeing you there.
Community Programs
We want to be sure that our families are aware of the community programs available to those needing assistance. At this time, the following programs are available to Adams students/families:
The Midland County Emergency Food Pantry Backpack Buddies Program is available again this school year. If you would like to receive a food backpack, contact the office at 923-6037. Forms are due by September 13, 2024.
Lost and Found
Unclaimed items are donated at the end of each semester. Students should check the lost and found periodically. We have accumulated many misplaced items, such as jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and other personal belongings. Please label your child's belongings to help us quickly return them to their owners.

Reporting Absences Through ParentVUE
Parents/Guardians can report student(s) absent via ParentVUE. This feature appears as a blue button titled "Report Absences" on the app's main page or website.
- 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.
- For each absence reported, parents/guardians must provide a detailed note explaining the 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 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.
