Dear Parents and Guardians:
Wow! Summer is flying by and it is time to start thinking of school again. I am excited about a new year at Adrian R-III Schools. We have fabulous teachers and students that help make our wonderful school. I am happy to be part of this school year and look forward to many great things.
Our first day of school will be August 14th. School will start at 8:10 in the morning and children will be dismissed at 3:20 in the afternoon. We are enclosing a copy of the school supply list, but you can access a copy online at our website or in most local stores.
I want to personally invite you and your child(ren) to Open House on August 12th from 6:00-7:30pm. This is going to be an open format with no specific start time with a few exceptions. Preschool will have meetings in their classrooms at 5:30pm to go over things specific to preschool and 4th and 5th grade will have an iPad meeting in the library starting at 5:30pm. You will be able to take supplies to classrooms, talk to teachers and see who is who in your student’s classes. We will also have the Commons Area filled with people you will want to meet. You will be able to meet the specials teachers, technology team, Title I and guidance counselor. You could join various clubs or organizations, order Adrian Pride products, and find out about opportunities that are available to you and your child(ren) this year.
Some of the highlights for the new year are:
1. Please welcome our new teachers! Second grade teachers … Mrs. Watson and Mr. VanSlyke; music teacher…Ms. Moravec ; special education teacher … Mrs. Doty. Mrs. Evans has moved to gifted and MS reading and Ms. Young has moved to Title I for this year.
2. Standards based grading will continue with no grades in Kindergarten-4th grade
3. IPads will be issued to students in 4th-5th grade once they have registered for an APPLE ID (if you have not completed this process, the tech department will be able to help you), insurance is paid and the technology agreement is signed. Come to the meeting in the library at 5:30pm on August 12th.
4. We will have one special class per day and will be on a rotation starting with Day 1 on the 14th of August. (PE shoes will be required).
Educationally Yours,
Mrs. Meyer
Elementary Principal
