Dear Adams 14 community,
Spring break is just around the corner, with parent-teacher conferences quickly approaching. These meetings are important for parents and guardians to track their child’s learning and help them succeed in their educational experience. Please contact your student’s school if you have any questions or concerns about these conferences.
The month of March also brings celebrations such as Women’s History Month. Women in the United States have been leaders in the abolitionist, labor, and civil rights movements, among many others, creating a more fair and just society for all. Join the Adams 14 Board of Education and me in commemorating the contributions of women in our local communities and around the world.
Finally, March is also National Reading Month. This month-long event highlights how literacy enriches our day-to-day lives. This month is a great opportunity for parents and guardians to read even more at home with their children and foster the literacy skills that will promote lifelong learning in their children.
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.
