Learning at Adams

There have been amazing things happening in the classrooms at Adams.  Check out the photo gallery below!

TikTok Challenges – Violation of the Code of Conduct

There is a new challenge circulating on TikTok called the “Devious Lick” challenge that encourages TikTok users to post videos of themselves stealing items and damaging school bathrooms and classrooms.

We have had a few incidents at Adams related to this and are asking you to speak with your student about the possible consequences that will incur for anyone participating.

This is a violation of several district expectations and could result in a suspension for a student participating.

Student Handbook

Your child will be bringing home the Adams Student Handbook next week.  This handbook discusses our policies, procedures and code of conduct.  Please review this with your child.

Newspaper Club Recruitment

We are seeking students in all grades to join our newspaper club.  If your student is interested, please have him or her email callejal@wwcsd.net 0r dauml@wwcsd.net for more information!

OK2Say Presentation

The Michigan Attorney General’s office will present OK2SAY student safety programming on September 29, 2021 at Adams Middle School.

Students in 6th – 8th grade learn what the OK2SAY program is, how it works, what types of incidents they can report, how to submit a tip, and what will happen with the tip. Students then get detailed explanations about bullying, cyberbullying, suicide, sexting, sexual abuse, the predator threat, and how to protect themselves online. Students see a video about the power of words, the deceptive ways internet predators target teens, along with a video featuring students from Michigan that have tragically died by suicide due in part to bullying. Through the presentation, these students are encouraged to stand up for themselves and their peers and to always be mindful of the power of their words.

More information and resources are available on the OK2SAY website (ok2say.com).  If you would like to opt your child out of this presentation, please email eatone@wwcsd.net.

Students will return to five full days a week of in-person learning. We will not require face coverings for students and staff in our District this fall. While no longer
required, the Wayne County Health Department recommends that individuals who are not fully vaccinated should consider wearing a face covering when indoors, especially in crowded settings.

Should specialized programs require a mask, the supervisor of the program will contact staff and families. WWCS will not require students and staff to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The decision to receive the vaccine remains a choice of the family or individual. We have no information to indicate testing for COVID-19 will be required for schools in the fall and WWCS has no plans to test students or staff.

Last Week of School Schedule/Action Items

It is hard to believe that we are fast approaching our last week of school.  Cohort A students will attend full days on Monday and Tuesday.  Cohort B students will attend on Thursday and Friday.  Thursday and Friday will be half days for Cohort B with dismissal at 11:00 am.  We need your help with the following next week:

• Ensure your student returns his/her Chromebook and charger.  If we do not get these returned, there will be a fine issued and could result in a new device not being issued in the fall until we receive the device or payment.
• Please have students return all textbooks. These are VERY expensive to replace and fine notices will be sent home prior to the end of the year if we do not get these back to cover the replacement cost.
• Please make sure your student has returned all library books from this year or even previous years from different schools.
• All instrumental music students need to return any instruments to Adams so they can be checked in. Instruments being stored in the music room will be collected during class. Any instruments not turned in before the end of the year will be assessed a replacement fee for the full value of the instrument and all accessories.

Teachers will still log in on virtual Wednesdays in addition to sending home any work your child needs to complete.  Have your child log in if they are able to from a home device.  If you do not have a home device, your student will not be penalized for not joining virtually, but will still be expected to complete any work sent home.

Textbooks

Teachers are beginning to collect textbooks from students.  Please check with your child to ensure that all books have been returned to school.  If there is a missing textbook, a fine notice will be sent home to cover the replacement cost.

Immunization Information – Parent Letter from Health & Human Services

Dear Parents and Guardians:

As many Michigan schools are working hard with concluding the current school year, they are also preparing for the return of students for the 2021-2022 school year. The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS), Division of Immunization wishes to remind you that Michigan schools are required to report immunization information regardless of their mode of instruction (in-person, virtual, and combinations of both). Any student who fails to meet the school immunization requirements shall not be admitted, or able to participate in school classes and activities.

Although you are probably juggling a lot of responsibilities right now, making sure your children are up to date on their shots is one of the best things you can do to protect them against several serious but preventable diseases. Michigan has seen a sharp drop in vaccinations since the start of the pandemic, which is a frightening trend. When children are not vaccinated, they are at risk of getting diseases like measles, chicken pox, and hepatitis A. Falling vaccination rates can lead to new outbreaks of dangerous diseases.

2021/2022 School Year

Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, Wayne-Westland Community Schools (WWCS) plans to have in-person classes five days a week when the fall semester begins in August. There will be no hybrid programming for the 2021-22 school year.
If you are interested in a virtual option for your child, the Wayne-Westland Virtual Academy is currently accepting enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year.

We are returning to full in-person learning at all campuses (K-12), five days per week for the 2021-2022 school year, barring any unforeseeable event. This is a full load for our students and families who choose to join us for in-person learning. We will continue to practice COVID-19 safety protocols as the District moves into the new school year through the guidance of the Wayne County Health Department and other entities.

General Reminders for Students

Please take the time to review the following with your students  as we begin to round out the year:

• Cell phones are not permitted at any time during the day.  If we see them being used, it may result in you having to come pick-up the phone.  If you need to reach your child, please call the main office.  Here is our Away for the Day policy for your review.
• Please ensure that appropriate clothing is worn as the weather gets warmer.  Shirts that expose the stomach and excessively short shorts are not permitted in school.
• Ensure Chromebooks are brought to school daily and fully charged.
• Here is the school-wide PBIS expectations matrix for you to review with your student.

8th Grade Awards

We will be holding our 8th Grade award ceremony on June 1 for Cohort A and June 3 for Cohort B.  We will not be inviting parents to this event to maintain proper safety protocols, but will either record and share the ceremony or stream the ceremony live.  The details will be shared next week!

Book Summary:

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the “lost boys” of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.

Daily Health Screening

If your child is sick, please keep him or her home – we ask that you complete the daily health screener found here each and every day.  If your child displays any of these symptoms please do not send him or her to school.

THANK YOU to all of our families doing their part to keep our school community safe and healthy.

If you child is sent home displaying COVID symptoms, the chart below shows the steps that need to be taken prior to a student being able to return to school.  Please report any positive cases or close contact cases to the office as soon as you are made aware.
