The Countdown Has Begun!
We have 15 DAYS until we welcome our students back to school! Summer is flying by! With school starting a week sooner this year, we hope everyone is fitting in all of the fun warm-weather activities they can before school starts on August 16th.
Please see below for important information to help you prepare.
Class Placements
After August 2nd, parents can log in to PowerSchool to view their student’s teacher. In order to do this, PowerSchool Forms must be updated (SchoolForms). See below for a picture indicating where to locate this within PowerSchool. If you are unable to see the placements immediately, check back later in the day. If you do not have the PowerSchool App on your phone, you can access PowerSchool through the district or school website.
In regards to class placements, please keep in mind many hours of work have already been done by a team of people (teachers, interventionists, support staff, and principal) in order to balance classes based on all of our students’ needs (learning needs, behavioral needs, and emotional needs). It is important we maintain these balanced classes for the benefit of all students and teachers, so please do not request a teacher change.

Setting up a LINQ Connect account is free. From your account, you can monitor your student's activity, view menus, add funds (credit card only, transaction fee applies), and apply for free/reduced lunch.

District-wide Community Clean-Up
West Ada School District is organizing the 2nd Annual district-wide Community Clean-Up on August 19th from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. We had great success with this event last year and our schools looked amazing after the combined hard work of community members, parents, and West Ada employees. While improvements have been made to increase employees to help maintain facilities, there is still a need at our schools.
I will be here that Saturday working at Paramount. Our main need for right now will be with weed-pulling around our parking lot and the exterior of our playgrounds, and trimming shrubs/bushes. We would love for you to join us here, if you are able; however, volunteers are needed at any West Ada school site. You can come and go as you please from 9:00-1:00.
Please bring your own gloves or tools! Bottled water will be provided and bathrooms will be available for your use.
For any volunteers who may be in need of community service hours (NJHS, NHS, Key Club, etc.), I will keep a “sign-in” sheet and send “verification of participation” to the individual to use. The sign-up sheet will be located in the front of the school.
We appreciate any help provided, even if it is not at our school!
