We are introducing a new technology support process today to help students stay focused and successful in their classes.
🔹 Students who are currently failing a course will be placed in a more restrictive content-filtering group.
🔹 The flag will look like our normal content-filter flag and will say “failing list tech restrictions.”
🔹 These restrictions are intended to help students stay focused on schoolwork and use their technology appropriately.
🔹 When a student is no longer failing a course, the restriction will automatically be removed after the system runs its update.
🔹 Please be patient! Changes may take overnight to appear or be removed.
🔹 If a student is already in a more restrictive filtering group, that group will take priority.
📚 Why are we doing this?
This is another way we can support students in getting back on track academically. Our goal is support, accountability, and success—not punishment.
We appreciate our students, families, and teachers working together to help every Bulldog be successful! 🐾💙💛
Stronger Together!

🏈 Bulldog Football Game Reminders! 🏈
We are excited to cheer on our Bulldogs at the upcoming home high school football game! 💙💛 To help make game nights safe, enjoyable, and successful for everyone, please remember these important expectations:
📍 Middle School Side: The middle school side is on the east side of the stadium, closest to the concession stand. Once you enter that area, you will need to stay there until halftime. At halftime, you may use the restrooms and visit the concession stands. Then return to your seats. If you leave, you have to return to your parents or leave the game and can not come back.
👨👩👧👦 K–6 Students: All K–6 students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entirety of the event. Students will not be admitted if they are simply dropped off. K–6 students are expected to sit with their parent/guardian during the game. Students who are running around without supervision will be asked to return to their seats.
🎓 Grades 7–12: Students must sit in the designated student sections or with their parent/guardian.
🚫 No Loitering or Horseplay: Commons and concession areas are for getting food, using designated spaces, and moving through—not for hanging out or horseplay.
⛔ Stay in Designated Areas: Attendees must remain in areas designated for the event. This includes no access to the grass area southwest of the stadium, the area east of the football field, or hallways/classrooms that are not designated for the event.
💙💛 Let's work together to make our Bulldog football games a great experience for everyone! We appreciate our students, families, and fans helping us keep game nights safe, respectful, and fun.

As we prepare for another great year at Adams, we want to remind families about a few important expectations and upcoming updates:
📱 Cell Phone Policy – Please review our school cell phone expectations with your student. Limiting distractions helps us create a positive learning environment for all Bulldogs.
📚 ICU (Incomplete Work Program) – Communication is the key to success! Families, students, and staff working together help ensure students stay on track academically. Please watch for updates and stay connected with your child's teachers.
🏫 ISS & OSS Guidelines – Due to recent Nebraska legislation, some changes will be made to our In-School Suspension (ISS) and Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) procedures. More information will be shared with families before the school year begins.
🤝 Classroom Protocols – We believe student success happens through strong partnerships between students, teachers, and parents. Our classroom procedures and communication expectations will continue to focus on collaboration, accountability, and support for every learner.
Thank you for partnering with us to make Adams Middle School a place where students are prepared, responsible, respectful, and safe every day!
