Mission Statement:
Adams Elementary School is a diverse community of students, parents, and staff working together to foster academic excellence, and the social, emotional, and physical growth of all students.
Program Description:
Adams Elementary emphasizes inclusion, welcome, and high expectations. Every year since the state report care was established, Adams has earned a rating of 'strong' for academic performance. Children are taught in largely self-contained classrooms with weekly and twice weekly instruction by certified teachers in media, music, and physical education. Blended grade classrooms provide opportunities for varied ability grouping and for children to have the same teacher for two years. We focus on literacy and incorporate daily journal writing. Adams is committed to embedding diversity-enhancing experiences into the school day and the curriculum. We are a school with active parent involvement and strong linkages to our neighborhood.
School Highlights:
  • Wrap-around programs such as Title One, Start Making A Reader Today (SMART), before- and after-school child care, ACE after school program (free), all on-site
  • Music instruction; Spanish classes sponsored by the City of Eugene; MECCA art and recycling programs; Composting program; PE instruction; 2006 Oregon School Librarian of the Year on staff
  • Technology curriculum including central computer lab and Computers on Wheels (mobile computer labs), SMART boards, document cameras, and a hand-held computer project
  • Adams is designated as a green school, winner of the 2007 Trashbusters award; Field-based science curriculum; a focus on writing and reading instruction that recognizes different learning styles
  • Bilingual staff with staff speaking Spanish, along with English Language Learner (ELL) services
School Improvement Goals:
  • To increase reading and math literacy as measured by both standardized tests and classroom assessments
  • To integrate cultural competency at all levels of the school, and into all relationships within the school
  • To improve the functional ICT (information and communication technology) knowledge and skills of all students
