SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION
Guest Instructor: Mr. Tom Mavis
Over the course of this semester, students in my Small Business Management & Entrepreneurship classes partnered with Henry Ford Health System to participate in a Design Thinking Challenge.
The prompt provided by Henry Ford was: “We want students to be exposed to a wider range of healthcare careers beyond doctors and nurses so they can learn that healthcare offers many different opportunities, pathways, and roles to explore.”
Two of our student groups were selected to attend the D.Solve Industry Design Challenge Showcase at Oakland Schools on May 7th, where students from across Oakland County gathered to present their solutions to a variety of real-world industry challenges.
During the showcase, students displayed and presented their ideas to industry professionals and community leaders. As always, our Adams students represented themselves and our school with professionalism, confidence, and Highlander Pride.

PARENT DROP-OFF LOOP
Dear Adams Families,
At RCS, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our absolute top priority. To ensure a smooth, secure start to the school day for everyone, it is crucial that all families strictly adhere to our established traffic and entry procedures.
To keep the flow of traffic moving and keep our students out of harm's way, please note the following requirements:
- Pull Forward: When entering the drop-off lane, please pull your vehicle forward as far as possible. Our one-way loop extends all the way to the stop sign; utilizing the full length of the loop prevents backups onto main roads.
- Front Entrance Only: All students are required to enter through the front doors. For security purposes, back doors remain locked throughout the morning.
- No Alternative Drop-Offs: There is no dropping off or picking up allowed in the back of the building, along the sides, or within the parking lot. These areas are not supervised for student arrival.
- Follow the Rules: Drivers are expected to follow all posted traffic signs and rules, both on school grounds and on the surrounding public streets.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
WELCOME, DEPUTY KENNETH BROWN
Deputy Brown was raised in Detroit and attended Catholic Schools all of his life except for one year of public school in Detroit. He graduated from Benedictine High School a long time ago, lol. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan - Dearborn. Deputy Brown was married and has two high school aged daughters at Berkley High School. He has been with the Sheriff's Office for 19 years now. Also, worked as a patrol deputy and a detective for the Rochester Hills substation for the last 13 years. Deputy Brown enjoys learning about different cultures and people. He enjoys traveling to see historical areas. Deputy Brown enjoys sports, period! Just about all of them. However, his heart will always be for the hometown teams in Detroit. I enjoy attending all types of sporting events along with sampling different foods. He wants everyone to know that his door at Adams High School will always be open for any kind of discussion and assistance requested!

Good Day Everyone!

Parentsquare is active throughout RCS now. Parents, if you have questions about Parentsquare, please email [email protected].
A friendly reminder, families will no longer be required to make appointments to have their Chromebook replaced! Everything can now be done in school, using our ticketing system, Incident IQ.
Why are we changing this process?
What will the new process look like?
How will this new process help families & students receive the best support?
FAQ
What will be happening to our appointment site?
Can appointments still be made to come to the Admin Building?
Will this process also work for students who need to purchase replacement chargers?
Yes! Your TA knows that students who need to purchase a replacement charger would require them to follow this workflow.
Please note that this process is brand new for everyone, so there will be some growing pains. If you or your building staff notice anything that may need to be tweaked or if you have any questions, please reach out to myself or Lynn ([email protected])
Why are we changing this process?
- Our current process requires all families to come to the Administration Building to swap their Chromebook out for a replacement device.
- This creates long delays for students to complete schoolwork at home
- Families need to make special arrangements to come to the Administration Building, usually resulting in them taking off work.
- Ongoing construction in front of the Administration Building causes confusion & frustration for families trying to get to their appointments
What will the new process look like?
- The student will bring their Chromebook to the Media Center for the TA to inspect for damage
- TA will determine if payment is needed to replace device
- In certain cases, an Elementary TA will swap the device at the building if no payment is needed.
- If payment is needed, an Incident IQ ticket will be created
- TA sends Chromebook to Help Desk @ Admin DQ
- Help Desk assess damage and contacts parent/guardian of damage and cost to replace
- Card Payment Preferred but cash or check option is available
- Once payment is made, Help Desk will send a replacement device to your buildings TA
- TA will receive the device and deliver the device to student/teacher
How will this new process help families & students receive the best support?
- Families will no longer have to make arrangements to come to the Administration Building
- Turnaround time will be faster for students.
FAQ
What will be happening to our appointment site?
- The appointment site will not be going away, I will be working with the site manager to update the site to now have a page to let them know of the new way to get their student’s device repaired.
Can appointments still be made to come to the Admin Building?
- Yes! Appointments will still be available on the same days of the week at the same times. We understand that parents/guardians prefer to come in person, rather than have everything done through email/on the phone. We also understand that some parents/guardians may have availability in their schedule to take care of this faster than the new workflow.
Will this process also work for students who need to purchase replacement chargers?
Yes! Your TA knows that students who need to purchase a replacement charger would require them to follow this workflow.
Please note that this process is brand new for everyone, so there will be some growing pains. If you or your building staff notice anything that may need to be tweaked or if you have any questions, please reach out to myself or Lynn ([email protected])
