No School on Monday – Memorial Day

Wrapping up the School Year

We understand that students are looking ahead to summer and are enjoying the warm temperatures and sunshine that have finally arrived! Warm weather and the month of June often bring behavior issues to school, so we are sharing a few reminders.

Students are expected to follow all expectations until the final bell on June 10, 2022. If students cannot follow our expectations, they will be suspended from school. We will not tolerate rudeness or disrespect towards staff or students, hands on one another, disruptive behavior in classrooms, students on cell phones or any other violation of our PBIS matrix and expectations.

Ensuring Student Safety at Adams

After hearing of yet another devastating tragedy in Texas this week, it is a good time to remind all families of safety protocols we have in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff at Adams. Our number one priority is to keep everyone safe, and we are committed to continually reviewing our procedures and strengthening them as needed.

• Anyone that our main office is unable to identify is required to show an ID at the front door and again in the main office
• We will only allow one adult in the building with proper ID to sign-out a child or drop something off. There is no reason that more than one person is needed in at any time with the exception of a having small child with you or if prior arrangements have been made
• We will not allow anyone in during passing time. You will be required to wait outside until the bell sounds
• Please do not allow a person to enter the building as you exit – everyone, no matter, what must ring the bell so we are aware of someone coming in

In addition, please see the letter here shared by Dr. Dignan this week.

From our Music Department

We invite you to join us for an evening of wonderful music!

The Adams MS Instrumental Music department will present their annual Spring Concert on Tuesday, May 31 at 6:00pm. The concert will be located at Stockmeyer Auditorium on the campus of Wayne Memorial High School. Please enter the doors by the auditorium and not the main entrance of the school.

Testing Incentives

May was a tough month as we asked our students to take both MSTEP and NWEA tests. We offered incentives for students to put forth their best effort!  All students that met one growth goal have earned a trip to the Kona trip next Friday. We will also be announcing the SIX raffle winners that get to choose a $50 gift card to a place of their choosing.

Fundraising

All of the test incentives mentioned above are just one thing we are able to provide through fundraising at Adams. Right now, we are selling pizza kits for you to stock up on for the summer while we replenish our fundraising accounts at AMS. Please use the link here to place your order, or share this link with friends and family!

Mental Health Awareness Month

April 29, 2022

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Here in Wayne-Westland Community Schools, Mental Health Matters. Our District’s Mental Health Task Force works with our staff to support mental health awareness.

Some of the activities planned during this month include:

• A bulletin board in schools that includes positive mental health messages

• Morning announcements that discuss healthy coping skills

• Self-care discussions in classes

• Students and staff will be encouraged to wear green on Fridays to support mental health awareness.

Our District will also be hosting a free virtual  Mental Health Symposium on Suicide Prevention at 7 p.m. on May 3. During this event, we will be sharing information on warning signs, available resources, seeking support for your child and what to expect after receiving help. We will have panel members from Wayne-Westland Community Schools, Hegira, Beaumont and Canton Rotary. For individuals in crisis or distress, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. This lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In addition, Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential service provided by the Wayne-Westland Community School District. This service is FREE to students, families and staff. Care Solace helps connect individuals to mental health or substance abuse providers by locating a therapist that meets their specific needs. Note: Care Solace is not a crisis line. They will call providers for you, verify insurance, and even help you make an appointment. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:

• Call 888-515-0595. Support is available 24/7/365 in any language.

• Visit caresolace.com/wwcsd and search yourself or click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s principal.

Sincerely,

John Dignan, Ed.D
Superintendent

Social Media Reminders

If you or your child hears about or reads something about our students or Adams on Social Media that concerns you, please reach out to Mrs. Sheppard or myself so that we can provide you with factual information while maintaining ethical standards and protecting the privacy of students and families.

Please talk to your student about how to properly use social media and monitor his or her accounts. False information about others, cyberbullying and rumors spread on various platforms do nothing but cause harm and problems in school. It is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Consequences will be issued if things on social media disrupt the school day.

Spring Break – No School

Spring break is March 28 – April 1, 2022. School will resume on Monday, April 4, 2022.

Reviewing Expectations over Spring Break

It’s hard to believe that once we return from spring break we are in the home stretch of the school year. Warm weather and summer in sight often bring an increase in student behavior issues to school.

It is our goal to ensure our students are in school focused on academics and learning everyday. It is the job of all staff at Adams to teach, reteach and remind students of our expectations regularly, and it is the job of our students to follow the expectations of Adams daily.

According to the NEA, research finds suspensions have greater negative effects on learning outcomes, attendance, future behaviors and do more harm than good. We use alternative approaches and interventions as much as we can, along with issuing consequences such as detention, restitution, reflection work or in-school suspensions to make sure our students are in school and have access to work and instruction as much as possible.

With that said, students that cause major disruptions to the learning environment or jeopardize the safety of others will be suspended out of school, especially when interventions have been exhausted and unsuccessful. Disruptions in the classroom often begin because students refuse to work. Students should be engaged in learning and assignment completion always!

We know that a suspension out of school alone is not a way to correct a behavior, so re-entry meetings with families, student conferences or restorative practices to make an attempt to resolve the issue once and for all will also be in place before students return to school.

If we see the same students repeating the same behaviors, the students causing issues could possibly be recommended to our Director of Student Services for a disciplinary hearing that may result in expulsion.

Please take the time over spring break to review our expectations outlined here. Your support is necessary and appreciated. We ask that you specifically focus on the following:

• Phones are NOT permitted and are expected to be off and away
• Students need to be to class on time, every hour – tardy contracts were signed by all students that outline progressive consequences
• Students need to use respectful language towards adults and peers – the school environment is not a place where students should use foul language, ever
• Students are expected to comply with all adult directions the first time they are given
• Students need to keep hands to themselves – goofing around in the hallway with hands on each can lead to physical altercations
• Remind your child that his/her behavior online through various social media accounts is monitored – if actions on social media lead to problems in school, there will be consequences

Thank you for your support and partnering with us to make our school the best it can be!

PBIS Party Winners!

Today we will celebrate our 6th grade students for having the least amount of tardies and the least amount of office referrals! The party will take place today, during 6th hour. All 6th graders that have not had an office referral this month or been on our tardy list are invited!

These are FREE opportunities for our students! Please visit the websites below to sign up or get more information. Transportation is provided from Adams to Jefferson Barnes. Reserve your spot today!

March is Reading Month!

In honor of reading month, we are having a bookmark design contest. The design should reflect the theme, Enter a Different World – Read!

All students must turn in their design by Friday, April 8, 2022 to the library.

Please pick up a template from the library or office. Students should make their design colorful and outline it in fine point black marker.

The winning design will be shared once it is selected!

8th Grade PSAT Testing

On April 13, 2022, our 8th grade students will be taking the PSAT test. Only our 8th grade students will attend school on this day. There will not be school for any 6th or 7th grade students. More information will be sent home regarding this as we get closer to the day of the test.

NJHS Service Hours

Thank you to our NJHS students who were able to log service hours yesterday. Students assembled tech tubs for our classrooms. These will serve as a charging and storage space for Chromebooks.

Congratulations to our Swim Team 

The swim team took home first place in the All-City Meet at JGHS pool.  This event was hosted by AMS and the competing schools included Stevenson and Franklin.  The swimmers have worked very hard this season. Way to go Eagles!

School Expectations

Please remind your student of the following to help us ensure all students are successful in school and learning in a positive environment:

• Use respectful language towards adults and peers – foul language in conversation is not school appropriate
• Cropped shirts are not school appropriate – students must have their stomach covered
• Students are expected to follow adult directions , the first time they are given
• Hallways are not for track practice! Students need to walk in the halls. We have some students that would make great track stars! Info coming soon…
• Please help your child get to school on time and get to every class, every day, on time
