After the last few weeks...

March 2026

As Spring quickly approaches, we have a plate full of activities to navigate.  Student achievement remains at the top of our priority list.  Spring always brings the State Testing season.  We understand, and believe, that although state assessments are not the sole indicator of student achievement, they are one indicator we must take into consideration.  Our teachers and principals are working diligently to prepare students to perform to the best of their abilities when testing time arrives.  We want students to be prepared, yet not stressed, for testing and confident that they are ready!  Spring also brings the end of basketball and wrestling seasons, as well as the beginning of baseball, track, golf, soccer, and other outdoor seasons.  In Ada, we are very proud of the number of students who engage in so many activities.  We love seeing well rounded students who take great pride in being Cougars!  We also have students in performing arts continuing to shine in plays, concerts, and speech and debate.  Spring also brings another season to schools….the legislative season!  We will spend this spring closely following many bills in the legislature that if passed, will have a great impact on our district.  Several bills will focus on extending the School Safety Grants, adding days to the instructional calendar, increasing Math and Literacy requirements, teacher certification requirements, screen time in the lower grades, cell phone usage, and many more.  Being proactive and staying informed helps us down the road to be prepared for any of the changes these bills would bring if they become law.  Once again, we thank our community for allowing us to be partners in shaping our future Cougars!  There is so much in Ada to be proud of and we look forward to a bright future!  Go Cougs!
