Adams Reminders 🐾
We’ve noticed a recent increase in disrespectful language and behavior toward staff. Please remind your student that Adams Middle School has a zero-tolerance policy for this. Students who curse at or show disrespect to staff will be sent home.
As the weather gets colder, please make sure students dress warmly — coats, hats, and gloves are important this time of year! ❄️
Just a reminder: students are not allowed inside until 7:45 a.m. when teachers are on duty, and we only bring students in when the temperature is 29°F or below.
Thank you for helping us keep Adams a safe, respectful, and positive place to learn! 💙

🐾 Talking with Your Middle Schooler — Bulldog Style! 🐾
Because “fine” and “nothing” don’t tell the whole story 😉
💬 1. Ask oddly specific questions.
Skip “How was school?” and go for “What made you laugh today?” or “What was the best part of lunch?”
🚗 2. Find your talk time.
Conversations flow best in the car, while cooking, or during a walk — side-by-side feels safer than face-to-face.
🎧 3. Listen first, fix later.
They don’t always want advice — just someone to hear them out. A calm “That sounds tough” builds trust.
💡 4. Practice Boys Town skills together.
Accepting Feedback: “Thanks for telling me — I’ll try to work on that.”
Disagreeing Appropriately: “I see your point, but can I share mine?”
Making an Apology: “I’m sorry for how I said that — can we start over?”
Modeling these phrases helps them learn respectful communication at home and school.
🤣 5. Speak their language.
Ask about a meme, a YouTuber, or a TikTok trend — they’ll love being the expert.
🍕 6. Celebrate small wins.
Homework turned in? Locker found? Deodorant remembered? Middle school success!
🧠 7. Keep it short and real.
Long lectures lose them — quick, honest talks build connection.
❤️ 8. End with encouragement.
Remind them: “I’m proud of how hard you’re trying.” They might roll their eyes, but it matters.
💙💛 Every “meh” response is a chance to model patience, kindness, and Bulldog grit. Keep those conversations going, Bulldog Families!
For some more helpful ideas, please remember our Boys Town facilitator is located at Adams. Here is some more information with parenting tips. Scan the bar code for more.
