Ada's downtown banners proclaim that winter is here. With a back drop of the Ada Presbyterian Church steeple the various banners with seasonal colors proclaim to all who pass through town on State Route 235 that this community has the Christmas spirit.

Superintendent: "We plan to operate on that plan for two weeks... We will analyze our numbers and consult the health department and make a decision for the week of Jan. 19-22."

Meri Skilliter, Ada school superintendent, posted the following message on the school website concerning the school's teaching plan beginning Jan. 4, 2021:

We certainly appreciate all of the adapting and adjusting our families and students (and staff) have done over the last year as we traverse this pandemic. 

We were exceptionally thrilled to welcome students back to the building two weeks ago. While five days a week is optimum, it was good for all of us to have them back, at least a couple of days in person, to reconnect and assist them in person as needed. 

What a unique way to end a semester.  As always, our students have been flexible and resilient.
