AdaSAFE reached out to the Ada Schools the first week of August with  questions from community members. HERE are the answers received.

Mrs. Skilliter stressed the importance of parents emailing or calling their building principals, as it is best to have questions answered directly to the parent/ guardian as applies specifically to their child or children, as each child's circumstances are a bit different.
