Ada Schools proudly recognizes and celebrates the incredible work of our school social worker, Katie Badertscher, and the vital role she plays in supporting our students, families, and staff each and every day.
School social workers are essential partners in student mental health, equity, and school success.

As youth mental health needs continue to rise, school social workers are not a luxury — they are a lifeline.
Katie is uniquely trained to bridge home, school, and community, ensuring Ada students receive the support they need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. Thank you for being an advocate, a problem-solver, a listener, and a champion for our students. 💛 We are grateful for all you do!

Mr. Dunn’s Physical Science class took learning to the gym!
Students explored the concept of conservation of energy with a hands-on bowling ball pendulum demonstration. By observing how the bowling ball swings and returns to nearly the same height, students saw firsthand how energy transfers between potential and kinetic energy—without being lost.
Experiences like this make science memorable and meaningful. Great work applying physics in action!

Ada Kindergarten registration for 2026-27 is Open!
Registration will need to be completed through FinalForms. Once all forms are complete (and documents have been uploaded) you will be emailed a link to sign up for a screening time. Screenings will be held on May 7th and 8th.
Please note an important update for families: House Bill 114 has changed kindergarten admission requirements. Children must turn five years old on or before the first day of the school year to enroll. Admission is now tied directly to the first day of instruction, which on our adopted calendar is August 24, 2026. This is different from years past, so we want to be sure families are aware of the first day of school as they plan ahead.

This week, our FFA members had a wonderful time visiting kindergarten to share a lesson all about cows! Students learned where milk comes from, how cows are cared for, and why agriculture is so important in our daily lives.
To top it off, the group wrapped up their lesson with a hands-on (and delicious!) activity — making homemade ice cream using milk, rock salt, and ice. The kindergarteners loved shaking their bags and watching science turn into a sweet treat!
We’re proud of our FFA students for representing the values of the National FFA Organization and for serving as great role models for our youngest Bulldogs. Great job!
