The December Ada elementary newsletter is now on the Ada school website. Here are a few significant announcements from the newsletter.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
During our parent/teacher conferences in November we had a 90.5% attendance rate for all students grades K-5. Thank you for being engaged in the education of your students! It means so much to their future. #exceedexpectations
FOCUS time update
We introduced FOCUS time to our students this year. FOCUS stands for Focused Organized Connected Unique Students. We spend 25 minutes each week in homerooms focusing on a different topic each week.
So far we have set and tracked goals, worked on organization skills, focused on generosity by supporting Blue Star Mothers, and had several days talking about bullying. We feel this is having an impact on our students by preparing them to be the most successful students they can be and to instill the characteristics of a Bulldog (brave, unique, loyal, leader, open-minded, generous)
