Career development experience for Ada sophomores

Feb. 25 part of English course and advisory program

Ada sophomores have an opportunity for a one-day career development experience on Tuesday, Feb. 25.  Sophomores can be excused from classes on Feb. 25 to shadow a professional in their chosen career path.

All sophomores are required to write a report and do a presentation on a particular career to a teacher and school administrator. Ideally, this report is written based off shadowing a professional on their job site.

The goal of this program is to encourage sophomores to begin the process of determining their career path, which they will further explore and adjust in their junior and senior years.

Ada schools rolling out "Remind"

It's a classroom communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning

Ada schools announced on Bulldogs Facebook that the school is rolling out Remind districtwide.

It's a classroom communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning. Remind is free to use, and parents will be able to get and send messages on any device—even a simple text message from your phone.

As part of this rollout, official accounts will be created for all the educators, parents, and students at Ada Schools.

On Jan. 29 parents received an email or text message from Remind. All that is needed to take place next is to follow the steps in the message to finish setting up an account. 

Will you pack or buy?
