It is a form of the verb adsum, adesse. The primary meanings of this are: be near, be present, be in attendance.
It could be the second person singular, present indicative, where it would translate to: You are present.
More likely, it could be the singular imperative (command form), where it would translate to: Be present! - more colloquially: Be there!

adsum, ades, adest, adsumus, adeste, adsunt means being present as absum etc means being absent, possum etc. being able. Dollhaus is probably right; the single imperative would be ades and the plural adeste as in Adeste Fideles Oh come (be present) all ye faithful.

Present. As in being present at registration.
