Career development experience for Ada sophomores

Feb. 25 part of English course and advisory program
Posted by LizGH on Sunday, February 2, 2020

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.

From Allen County Public Health Department
Posted by Icon K on Sunday, February 2, 2020

Allen County Public Health is closely monitoring this situation and is working with the Ohio Department of Health as well as other state and local public health partners and CDC to respond to this emerging public health threat. The goal of the ongoing U.S. public health response is to contain this outbreak and prevent sustained spread of 2019-nCoV in this country. The risk for getting coronavirus is low unless you have traveled to China within the previous 14 days of becoming ill, or have been around someone ill with the virus.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, January 31, 2020

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.

Ada's February and March events calling you

There's lots to do here over the next 60 days
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, January 29, 2020

The Ada Icon has the rest of winter and early spring planned for you.

It’s all in the four-page attached Hometown Happenings calendar of events revealing what’s happening here in February and March.

The only catch is that this is a leap year and it appears that nothing is planned on Feb. 29, which must mean Icon viewers get the day off.

February begins with a Day of Dance 2020 at ONU with a performance at The Freed Center. 

And, later on, there’s Valentine’s Day, spring picture day at the school, an Ada HS drama production, several programs on the night skies at the ONU observatory and music by the fireside at The Inn to keep you warm.
