It was great getting a chance to meet some of our new AB families at our Principal’s coffee on the first day of school. Our parent involvement is a huge part of what makes our school so special. How can you get involved at Adobe Bluffs this year? There are lots of ways to help that will fit into any schedule. Talk to your child’s teacher about the classroom volunteer options – Morning Read, Morning Math, Writer’s Workshop, and more.
