Adams Elementary

We are so excited to welcome our students back to school! To help make the first day as smooth and successful as possible, please review the following arrival and dismissal procedures.

🚗 Morning Drop-Off

Drop-off time is 7:15–7:45 a.m.

• PK: Drop-off will be at the round building beginning at 7:30.

• K–1st Grade: Drop-off will be in the back of the school off Robert E. Lee.

• 3rd–5th Grade: Drop-off will be in the front of the school off Southcross.

Please see the map posted below for specific locations. Parents may walk their child to the designated entrance; however, for the safety of all our students, we ask that you allow a staff member to escort your child inside. Parents will not be permitted to enter the building during morning drop-off. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!

🎒 Student Name Tags

Please make sure your child's first and last name and grade level are clearly labeled somewhere on their backpack or on a name badge.
K–2nd grade students who attended Meet the Teacher were given a lanyard with a name tag. These name tags help ensure that every student gets to the correct classroom safely.

💛 Dismissal & Yellow Placards

For the safety of our students, ALL parents and guardians must have a YELLOW placard to pick up their child beginning on the first day of school. Yellow placards were distributed at Meet the Teacher. If you were unable to attend Meet the Teacher or need additional placards, please come by the school BEFORE dismissal on the first day of school to pick one up. If you do not have a yellow placard at dismissal, you will need to go to the office and show your ID before your child can be released. Please write your child's FIRST and LAST name in BOLD, DARK ink on the placard. This will allow our staff to easily read the name from a distance and help get your child to you as quickly as possible.

If you would like your child to walk home from school, they must have a signed permission slip with their ​first and last name, grade, and parent information.

🕒 Dismissal Times & Locations

• PK: Dismissal at 3:10 p.m. from the round building.
