The Ada school transportation survey for the 20921-22 school year is now on the school website.
According to the post on the website:
Due to the change in school hours and the move to one dismissal time, the school requests all parents of students fill out a transportation survey form regardless of whether your child rides a bus.
We are in the process of determining transportation needs for all students.
Bus routes will need to be adjusted in order to accommodate more students.

FOSTORIA - The offense for the visiting Ada softball team came to life as they defeated Fostoria 9-6 in non-conference action Tuesday evening.
"Our bats kind of woke up with 14 hits," said Ada head coach Rebecca Dicke. "Our defense was a little tighter, although we still made a few errors and a couple of mental errors.
"All in all, it was a competitive game. We kept putting the ball in play and hopefully we can continue to do that," she added.
The Lady Bulldog record improved to 9-8 overall with the win that snapped a four-game loss slide. The Redwomen fell to 3-8 with the defeat.
