Coca-Cola Gives

John Adams is teaming up with Coca-Cola to earn money in the Coca-Cola Givesprogram. Please support JAMS by dropping off the lids from participating Coke products below. Collection boxes will be in the office, at sporting events, and in grade-level classrooms.

New Dismissal Routine

Due to the new changes concerning start times for Kanawha County Schools, John Adams will be running on different times as well. Drop off will begin at 7:15. Please do not drop students off before this time as we will not have staff members available to monitor the students. We will send students to breakfast at 7:35, and then to class at 7:50. First period will start at 8:00. We will not have Dev. Guidance in the morning, so it is very important to be on time for school. School will end at 3:05. Bus riders will be dismissed first this year. Students can be picked up in the first circle after school starting at 3:11. As always, your patience and cooperation is needed. Changes may need to be implemented as the year progresses.
