Dear Adams Middle School Families,

🐾 It’s Conference Time! 🐾
We are so excited to see our Adams families today and tomorrow! Conferences are a great opportunity to connect with teachers, celebrate student successes, and talk about ways we can continue to help our Bulldogs grow.

📅 Conference Times:
Today: 1:00–8:00 PM
Tomorrow: 8:00 AM–12:00 PM

💻 Need a computer for homework?
Students are welcome to take their school computer home when they have homework that requires it. Students will need to check the computer out with their homeroom teacher and show what work they need to complete.

This is about more than just taking a computer home—we are working to teach our students responsibility and accountability. We want students to be able to identify what they need, communicate that need, and take responsibility for completing their work. We appreciate your help in reinforcing these skills at home!

👋 Bring your Bulldog!
Feel free to bring your student with you to conferences! They always have a little more to share, and having them participate can make your conference even more meaningful—and maybe even a little more exciting! 😊

📋 When you arrive, stop by the front office!
We will have your student’s schedule and some test score information ready for you.

Thank you for partnering with us and supporting your student. We are looking forward to seeing you and celebrating all the great things happening at Adams!
💙💛 Go Bulldogs!

💻 NEW TECHNOLOGY UPDATE FOR ADAMS FAMILIES 💻

We are introducing a new technology support process today to help students stay focused and successful in their classes.
🔹 Students who are currently failing a course will be placed in a more restrictive content-filtering group.
🔹 The flag will look like our normal content-filter flag and will say “failing list tech restrictions.”
🔹 These restrictions are intended to help students stay focused on schoolwork and use their technology appropriately.
🔹 When a student is no longer failing a course, the restriction will automatically be removed after the system runs its update.
🔹 Please be patient! Changes may take overnight to appear or be removed.
🔹 If a student is already in a more restrictive filtering group, that group will take priority.

📚 Why are we doing this?
This is another way we can support students in getting back on track academically. Our goal is support, accountability, and success—not punishment.
We appreciate our students, families, and teachers working together to help every Bulldog be successful! 🐾💙💛
Stronger Together!
