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.
When you are waiting in line for drop off, please be careful not to block the crosswalks and allow pedestrians to cross safely. This will ensure the safety of our students who walk to school.
Also, when you pass the first cone that will be on the curb and come to a stop, please unload your students at that time. This will enable more students to be unloaded at a time and decrease the time for drop off.
