Because of the Governor’s order yesterday, a few things will be different at Ada Schools, including the days and times of meal deliveries.
Please read this update carefully.
As always, if you have any questions, you can email your child’s teacher, your principal, or your superintendent.
You can also call 419-634-6421. If that line is not answered directly, follow prompts to reach the CENTRAL OFFICE. Our staff gets an email when you leave a message on that line, and we will follow up or transfer your message to the right staff member.
Ada school community update March 20
As we come to the end of the first week of our “new normal,” home-based instruction and settle in for the next two (at minimum), we wanted to touch base with you on how to get help and assistance, even if the Central office is closed.
FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Thanks to the efforts of Bluffton emergency services, village staff, and a local ad-hoc group working behind the scenes with Bluffton Hospital, Bluffton will have a COVID-19 triage and testing center.
It will open Monday morning, March 23.
Dr. William Kose, Blanchard Valley Health System medical officer, explained details to the Icon:
• A “triage and testing center,” established by Blanchard Valley Health System, will operate in a tented area outside Bluffton Hospital.
• Persons who believe they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 may call 419-369-2399 for a phone pre-screen conversation with a registered nurse.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 has chosen single-lane roundabout designs to improve the safety of two intersections on state Route 309 east of Lima.
During a public meeting in January, roundabouts were the recommended alternative presented for the intersections of state Route 309 at Thayer Road and state Route 309 at Napoleon Road.
The decision was made after ODOT and its consultant, Jacobs Engineering Group of Cincinnati, gathered feedback on the alternatives during stakeholder meetings and a public meeting.
The Kenton-Hardin Health Department is collecting information from businesses with restricted hours or closings.

Note from Ohio State Extension Service
The deadline to enter into a contract with the H2Ohio program for farmers in the 14-county, Maumee River watershed is being extended.

The H2Ohio deadline is expected to be extended to June 2, tentatively. Contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District for more details.
