Courtwarming Dance - February 6, 2026
💗 Join Parents as Teachers for the February Group Connection! 💗
All families with children ages birth to kindergarten entry, or who are expecting, are invited to our Valentine-themed Group Connection on Friday, February 13th from 5:30–6:30 PM at the Parents as Teachers House!
We’ll have a cute Valentine craft, games, and hands-on activities to support learning through play. This will be a great chance for families to connect, have fun, and celebrate friendship and kindness together! 💕
➡️ I’d also love your feedback! I am planning the rest of our Group Connections for the school year and want to know what topics, developmental areas, and parent-child activities you’re most interested in. Your input helps me to plan events that are meaningful, engaging, and fun for your family!
👉 Please take a moment to fill out this short survey: https://forms.gle/McbBZQ8iHZuQ5NZq9

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the construction of the new gym, we are implementing temporary changes to student drop-off procedures on the north side of the Adrian R-III School District.
Please note: There will be NO parent drop-off allowed in the north parking lot or the north gravel parking lot.
The north parking lot and north gravel parking lot will be used for student parking only and will not be accessible for parent vehicles during arrival and dismissal times.
As shown on the attached map, all parent drop-off and parent pick-ups must take place on Hazel Street. Parents should remain in their vehicles, pull along the designated curb area, and allow students to exit safely. Please follow all posted signage and directions from school staff to help keep traffic moving efficiently.
These changes are necessary to ensure the safety of students, staff, and construction crews while work on the new gym is underway. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we adjust to these temporary procedures.
Additional updates will be shared as construction progresses. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Don Lile
Superintendent
Adrian R-III School District
