Ada Elementary
September 2017
Welcome Back!
This year we have no new staff members to announce; however, we do have a few changes in what grades teachers are teaching. Mrs. Kosier (Harmon) has moved from 2nd grade to Kindergarten, and Mrs. Butterfield has moved from 3rd grade to 4th grade.
Additionally, we reorganized the elementary building and many teachers have moved locations. I hope everyone got see the new rooms at Open House.
Another change for this school year is our lunch and recess times. We've changed from 3 lunches to 2, which provides us with several advantages that have made a big impact in our school. So far things have gone well thanks to the tremendous cafeteria and playground monitors that we have in our building!

Aspiring to Excel in All Areas of the School Experience!
Last year our students and community identified the characteristics that describe the qualities of a Bulldog. Below those characteristics are listed for you to review. Our school is focusing on developing those characteristics through what we call "Community Time." Community time is held once a week in classes where we discuss different characteristics and how to live them out.
