Dear Adams Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to Adams Middle School; Home of the Eagles! It truly is an honor for me to be joining the “Adams Family!”
A new school year is always an exciting time for all. It presents opportunities for various beginnings – new classes, new faces, sometimes new courses, and often new materials. The next three years are a time for growth, challenge and adventure. Your child’s’ time at Adams will be exciting and filled with many new opportunities.
Middle School is a time of a change. The workloads and social adjustments are greater here than at the elementary level. Additionally, the campus is larger, there are more students, and instead of one teacher in one classroom, your child may have a separate instructor, and classroom, for each subject or block of subjects (e.g., language arts/social studies or math/science) and of course physical education either in the beautiful Adams gym or on the playing fields.
There are many perks to being in middle school. Students have the opportunity to join two clubs, participate in intra-mural sports, go to science camp in the 6th and 8th grade, as well as, choose their elective, and be an active member in community and volunteer service projects.
Our goal is to challenge your child academically, grow them socially and emotionally, and guide them toward independent thinking and problem solving. Students will be encouraged to display good character and to make good choices that will result in successful outcomes. We are looking forward to a great school year filled with enriching activities and learning experiences that will help your child, “Reach Greatness!”
Our school learning community is strengthened by our partnerships. The active participation of students, staff, families, and community organizations are essential for our continued success. I encourage you all to be active in our PTSA and the Redondo Beach Education Foundation. As we go through the school, I welcome the opportunity to meet all of you. Please know that I have an open door policy and you are invited to Adams anytime.
We are glad that you and your students are members of the Adams community and look forward to a wonderful school year. It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to Adams Middle School; where we will work together to, “Reach Greatness!”
Go Eagles!
Anthony Taranto
Principal
