All athletic practices from Oct. 30, through Nov. 1, are cancelled

Ada schools will move to remote learning beginning Monday, Nov. 2, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.

The announcement was made today (Oct. 30) on the school website. The message to the Ada community follows:

"With our number of Covid 19 positive cases growing, and all of the quarantined students and staff we have as a result of those positive cases, we have come to the decision that it is time for Ada Schools to switch to Remote Learning. 

"Because there are only three weeks and a day between now and Thanksgiving, we will be starting remote learning beginning Monday, Nov. 2 through Nov. 23.
