Ada schools announced on Bulldogs Facebook that the school is rolling out Remind districtwide.
It's a classroom communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning. Remind is free to use, and parents will be able to get and send messages on any device—even a simple text message from your phone.
As part of this rollout, official accounts will be created for all the educators, parents, and students at Ada Schools.
On Jan. 29 parents received an email or text message from Remind. All that is needed to take place next is to follow the steps in the message to finish setting up an account.
The Ada Icon has the rest of winter and early spring planned for you.
It’s all in the four-page attached Hometown Happenings calendar of events revealing what’s happening here in February and March.
The only catch is that this is a leap year and it appears that nothing is planned on Feb. 29, which must mean Icon viewers get the day off.
February begins with a Day of Dance 2020 at ONU with a performance at The Freed Center.
And, later on, there’s Valentine’s Day, spring picture day at the school, an Ada HS drama production, several programs on the night skies at the ONU observatory and music by the fireside at The Inn to keep you warm.
