Catch a match tonight! Ada Volleyball competes at home!
Mr. Crawford’s classes didn't waste any time in the first week of school!
In the High School Shop class students are jumping right into welding, building their skills while learning the importance of precision, safety, and problem-solving.
In the Junior High Maker Lab 1 class students are taking on the Mouse Trap Car Challenge, designing and building cars while testing their ideas and troubleshooting along the way.
Both projects are about more than just making something—they’re giving students a chance to read blueprints and instructions, solve problems, think critically, and practice working safely in the shop. Looks like it’s going to be a great year of making, building, and learning!
Tonight! Cheer on the JV Girls soccer team and the Golf team! Go Bulldogs!
Our Junior High students got right to work in the first week of class —or maybe we should say fun—in Mr. Acheson’s room !
Students are diving into Sphero robotics, using programmable, interactive robots to explore STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and computer science concepts. From coding to problem-solving, students are learning by doing—and having a blast along the way!
We love seeing our Bulldogs get hands-on with learning!

Friday night football and Game Day graphics by our JR & HS Yearbook staff. Go Bulldogs!
Science Meets Creativity! Mr. Dunn’s classroom recently got a custom new look on the wall—and every piece was created by a student!
As part of the project, students selected an element from the periodic table and gave it a new name and symbol inspired by the element’s properties, uses, or history. They then designed and decorated their element block to creatively connect the element to its new identity. Each block is unique and showcases a different way of looking at the science behind the elements.
What a fun way to bring science, creativity, and student voice together!

Attendance Matters! Ohio has recently updated its attendance laws, with a renewed focus on supporting families and intervening early when attendance concerns arise. We want to make sure our families have the information they need to help students stay on track.
Here’s the big change: All absences count toward chronic absenteeism — including excused absences. If a student misses 5% of the school year for any reason, families will be contacted as Ada Schools increases attendance communication and support.
The bottom line? Students who attend school every day have greater opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. We want to see their faces every day, and we need your help!
Families can help by:
• Establishing healthy routines that make getting to school on time easier
• Scheduling appointments outside of the school day when possible
• Planning vacations and other activities around the school calendar
Together, we can help our Bulldogs get to school every day ready to learn, grow, and have fun!

Our 7th and 8th graders participated in library orientation this week during Language Arts! Mrs. Smith challenged students with fun Breakout Box activities while introducing them to the new setup of our middle and high school fiction collection.
The fiction collection is now organized into genre groups, making it easier for students to browse and find books based on the types of stories they enjoy. We’re excited to see students exploring the new setup and discovering their next great read!

Weather-Related Delays & Cancellations: How We Communicate
Occasionally, hazardous weather conditions may require Ada Schools to delay or cancel school. Our goal is to make these decisions by 6:30 a.m. whenever possible and communicate them to students, families, and staff as quickly as we can.
ParentSquare is our primary communication tool for urgent updates, including weather-related delays and cancellations. Current students’ primary and secondary guardians are automatically enrolled in ParentSquare using the contact information provided through FinalForms.
Want to receive Ada Schools alerts even if you are not a current student’s guardian? Community members and extended family members can request to join the Ada Schools ParentSquare Community Group by submitting this Google Form: https://forms.gle/fziDqwsco26WDpHt5
Weather-related announcements will also be posted on the Ada Schools website and shared through our official social media accounts. We will also notify local media outlets WLIO, WBNS, WFIN, and WKTN.
We know weather decisions can impact families’ plans, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

A big thank-you to Girl Scout Troop 2080 for creating and building new soccer nets for our K–5 playground! These girls put in a lot of hard work designing and constructing the nets, giving our students a fun new resource to enjoy during recess.
This project earned the troop the Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn. The Bronze Award challenges troops to identify an area of improvement in their community and create a solution—and Troop 2080 certainly did just that!
Thank you, Troop 2080, for making our playground better and giving our students something special that was built with creativity, teamwork, and hard work!

Ada Schools would like to extend a huge thank you to the Ada Park Board for investing in War Memorial Park with a new stadium concession stand! This beautiful facility will make game days even better for students, families, and our community for years to come.
This project was fully funded through a capital project budget grant earned by the Ada Park Board, reflecting strong community investment in local recreational facilities. In addition to the Park Board’s commitment, the Ada Athletic Boosters outfitted the interior with food service equipment, and Hensel Ready Mix donated all of the concrete! THANK YOU to all who supported this project!
