ROCHESTER ADAMS ROBOTICS TEAM 245
What a great showing by the wonderful students and mentors from the team. In summary, we went undefeated in the qualification rounds and were the captain of the number two alliance. After winning our first two playoff matches, we did lose to the two teams that were in the finals. We earned the Engineering Inspiration Award, a first for our team, which is only awarded to one team at each district and is often considered the second highest award you can earn.
Only a few days to rest and we then compete this coming week at the State Championship at Saginaw Valley State University where the top 160 teams in Michigan compete. The Cyber Cats from Stoney Creek and the FEDS from Rochester are also competing, so a great showing by the Rochester United teams.

AHS CONCERT BAND MEMBERS HONORED!
Two of our students were selected to State Honors band due to their State S/E scores from two weeks ago. Jian Kim (flute) and Soomin Lee (clarinet) were in the top 1% of performances heard at State Solo and Ensemble on March 18th. We have not had state S/E since March of 2019. Only 60 students in the whole state were selected. Here is the MSBOA paragraph about it:
“.....These students were selected based on their 2023 State Solo and Ensemble Proficiency results. These musicians showed exceptional skill, particularly when you consider that no current student in Michigan had done a full proficiency exam before. It is exciting to see our students coming back so strongly.”

The safety and security of all students and staff at Adams High is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
- During Arrival students can enter through 3 entrances, Main (Door 1), Athletics (Door 11), and Highlander Highway (Door 20). All external doors will be locked at 7:30 AM.
- Campus will remain closed throughout the school day. All grades will have lunch on campus.
- Students are NOT to utilize fast food delivery services. For example, DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart, or Uber Eats, etc. for food delivery.
- If students are traveling to other campuses throughout the day, they are asked to check out of AHS in the Attendance Office and check back in when they return.
- Students are encouraged to utilize their assigned lockers to minimize their belongings in the classroom.
- If you see something, say something. Please report all safety and security concerns to the Main Office Staff or to Deputy Dan Prachar.

The District Chromebook Troubleshooting website is now live (See below). It has the most common problems that students are experiencing and how they can try to fix them. We are hoping that this will get students back to work a little quicker.
PLEASE NOTE: We have taken down the RCS Tech Support Ticket site. If a student needs help with their Chromebook, they should look at the troubleshooting site first. If they can’t fix it from the information on that page, they can make an appointment to swap out their Chromebook or they can call Technology Services (number is on the Troubleshooting page).
