After the last few weeks...

April 2026

Spring has sprung!  What an exciting time of the year for our teachers and students.  All the hard work and dedication we have put in throughout the year culminate now in getting the opportunity to demonstrate what we have learned.  Though there are many problems with high stakes assessments, we also understand that they are “a” benchmark for how well we have done.  “A” benchmark means they are just one of several indicators that allow us to reflect on the work we have done and use the data and results to grow and become better in our practice. Our teachers have focused throughout the year on the essential learning each grade level student needs and worked to ensure they have mastered those skills and shown growth in their learning throughout the course of the year.  April will be full of testing and gathering the relevant information we need to grow as educators.  We have a wonderful group of teachers who care deeply about their students.  Spring is also the culmination for another group of students….Seniors!  Our seniors are quickly approaching the end of the road in their educational journey.  This month will be the capstone for all they have done over the past 12 years.  Before they move on to embark on continuing their education in college or career tech, or simply moving into the work force, they get the opportunity to celebrate and enjoy all that comes with graduating!  We are very proud of each and every senior and the work they have done.  It is an exciting time as we welcome another group of seniors into the group of Ada Cougar Alumni! There is a level of pride and excellence that comes with being a Cougar for life!  Please join us as we celebrate the successes of our young Cougars and the graduation of our new Cougar Alumni!  It’s a great day to be a Cougar!
