The school is named for Betty Adams, a respected Jefferson County principal. At Adams Elementary we believe that teaching is a combination of science and art. The staff is exceptionally professional, dedicated to life-long learning, and committed to creating a safe and orderly environment, high academic standards, and positive relationships with all adults in the school. All instruction is based on the Jefferson County Content Standards.
Teachers understand and use a variety of effective teaching strategies.
They teach the whole child and attempt to develop not only basic skills, but also creativity, concern for other people, and thinking skills. We believe that children benefit when they remain with the same teacher for more than one year. Art, Music and P.E. are an important part of our instructional program. Students with special needs are supported by a full program of Special Education. The school has enrichment opportunities for the gifted and talented.
