As a parent, one of your top concerns is making sure your child is healthy and safe. That's why it's important to take the time to learn about croup and how it can affect your child.

Croup is marked by a "barking" cough in children up to age 5. Most children recover from this viral illness within a week or so, but serious cases can cause severe symptoms like trouble breathing. Call your child's health care provider if you are concerned about any symptoms you're seeing.

March is National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Eat Right, Bite by Bite.” Sometimes it can be overwhelming with what to do first when you want to change your eating habits.

Simply start by trying to eat more variety. You can focus on one food group at a time. For example, think about some different vegetables or fruits you’ve never tried before.

Try to pick out vegetables and fruits that are in season to get the best flavor and the lowest cost.

Ada Schools will need to regain our trust before we can support any, let alone a permanent, tax levy

Ada Community:
We write not to direct an outcome, but to ensure a balanced perspective. Ada Schools has a levy set for our vote this March. However, it is out opinion that the approach to this levy has thus far proven concerning. The levy is being placed on the ballot as a “continuous renewal”. This means that the tax is essentially permanent. 

Starting on Monday, March 16, ONU is suspending all face-to-face instruction, with the exception of laboratory sessions, until April 17.

The following announcement is on the Ohio Northern University website:

Ohio Northern University is monitoring the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation state-wide and preparing for any potential impact to campus.  

Ohio Alert message to parents

Through an Ohio Alerts message today Ada schools have created a survey for parents related to continuation of free breakfast and lunches to school children off the school campus. The survey regards meals over the next three weeks.

In preparation for that decision and to help with planning, the school asks families to complete the survey as soon as possible. 

The school asks that the only persons to complete the survey are those needing meals or are willing to assist if needed.

Thomas Simmons:"We are all disappointed with the developments over the last few days, but we understand the urgency of the situation with the COVID-19 virus and the need to limit its spread."
