Principal’s Message

Addams Families,

This week we successfully wrapped up Trimester 1 at Addams. Our Pumpkin Bash this evening will be a great way to celebrate with our Crusaders. We are proud of the hard work and progress our students have made so far this year and look forward to their ongoing success.  We know our students are going to continue to Accept, Achieve, and Amaze us as we move into the next trimester.  Thank you for your continued partnership.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Regards,
 
Bill Musselman    Tricia Leong
Principal               Assistant Principal

Chromebook Reminder
Chromebooks are integral to student learning on a daily basis, and we have a limited number of loaner Chromebooks and chargers. Please remind your child to charge their Chromebooks each night so they are prepared for learning. It could be helpful to create a routine of plugging it in before bedtime. We appreciate the support.

District 54 Virtual Backpack
District 54 shares information about community events with our students and families through our Virtual Backpack.  We know that parents are interested in extracurricular activities. At the same time, we don’t want the homework, letters from the teachers, school news and other important district information to get lost among the countless other pieces of paper in our students’ backpacks.  Please click here for additional information.
