We are still falling short of our building goal. However, 3rd grade is still on top, with 100% in attendance today. Way to go, 3rd grade!

We are proud to announce our ACOVSD 2026 Classified Employee of the Year.
Carla Wesley, a dedicated school bus driver and on-board instructor, has been a trusted presence behind the wheel for the Peebles School Attendance Area for the past 18 years. She would be the first to tell you that a school bus is more than just a vehicle—it’s a classroom on wheels. Through her care, consistency, and commitment, she creates a safe and positive start and end to each student’s day.
Carla was honored during this morning’s celebration and presented with a $1,000 award by Chris Harover, President of the National Bank of Adams County..
Congratulations, Carla, and thank you for the incredible impact you make on our students and school community each day!

North Adams Elementary Glow Run Fundraiser Update:

We are well on our way to our first goal of getting all students registered for our upcoming PTO Fundraiser Pledge Drive. Our goal is simple - To provide playground upgrades to our new playground, which includes fencing and other fun activities.

Once you register your child, you can begin reaching out to family and friends so that they can pledge donations! Check out some of the cool prizes that students can earn!

REACH for Tomorrow will be putting on a summer group therapy program from June 2nd - July 30th for students who may benefit from extra support throughout the summer. This is open to all students in grades 2 through 12. Students do not have to be enrolled in REACH services to attend.

This program will take place 3 days per week and meals will be provided.

We took a little drop in our attendance today. 3rd Grade is on top for the second day in a row. Keep it up!

Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day to some of the best behind the wheel! Today we want to give a special shoutout to our North Adams Elementary bus drivers! Each day, you are the first smiling face many of our students see in the morning and the last caring adult they see before heading home. Thank you for safely transporting our students, building positive relationships, braving early mornings, navigating weather, managing busy routes, and doing it all with patience and care. Your work is such an important part of our school day, and we are grateful for the way you support our students, families, and staff. We may be biased, but we feel we have the best fleet of drivers in the business!

What's happening on May 7th??? That's right, North Adams Elementary's 3rd Grade students are having their musical program! You don't want to miss out on this one! Mark your calendars now.

Another day meeting our goal! Way to go, 2nd Grade, for being on top of our leader board! Let's have great attendance for tomorrow since we will have our State Math Test.
