On December 3, Ada schools superintendent Robin VanBuskirk issued the following update to student drop off procedures:
In an effort to make our student drop off process more efficient and keep students safe, we will be implementing the following procedures beginning Monday, December 6, 2021.
Students may now be dropped off at the south entrance beginning at 7:35. At 7:35 a.m. the doors will open and students will be able to wait in the cafeteria and to eat breakfast. This should help alleviate congestion in the drop off line in the morning as well as give students more time to eat breakfast.
