Dear Adams 14 community,
I hope you had a restful spring break and feel ready to tackle the last quarter of our school year! Last week, I had the privilege of delivering a U.S. Congressional debrief in Washington D.C. and was able to share the work the Adams 14 team is doing to transform our schools and change the narrative for our students. It was very well received!
School Library Month began on April 1, and I encourage our community to celebrate with our schools. Libraries help children learn and cultivate important skills such as literacy, research, communication, and empathy. Our librarians are powerful advocates for education, working with every student to ensure they have the resources they need to feel supported as lifelong learners. Let’s take this month as an opportunity to further nurture a love of reading in our students and to encourage rich discussions in the classroom and at home.
At your service,
Superintendent Dr. Karla Loría

We know you are thinking of all the things you need to do to make sure your student is ready for school. Getting vaccinated is an important part of their school readiness and keeps children from catching and spreading diseases that can make them sick and potentially disrupt in-person learning.

Adams 14 understands that the decision to close schools, delay school start times, or dismiss students early due to inclement weather has a significant impact on our families. Thus, the district takes careful consideration when making a determination regarding our inclement weather options and is committed to informing families as early as possible.
