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.

From Allen County Public Health Department

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.

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.
