Alayna Wagner was named Teacher of the Year for Ada-Borup School District. In presenting her with the award, Education Minnesota Ada-Borup representative, Jordan Johnson, noted that “Alayna is committed to the success of her students. She will take whatever time necessary to put her student’s at ease in her classroom and reach each student and ensure they are ready to learn every day. She will review, modify, and reassess daily to ensure that her students are successful. She has a kindness to her smile and always has a laugh for you.”

A reminder that students will return to in-person learning beginning on Monday November 16.
There may be times again where we need to switch back to a short term distance learning model, and unfortunately these changes can happen quickly based on information we are provided with at the school.
We look forward to having our students back in the building!

Note from Ada-Borup School District’s Administration and Health Care Office Staff:
If your child has been sent home or has stayed at home due to the MDH COVID-19 Decision Tree, your child WILL NOT be picked up with school transportation or allowed back at school until written documentation is received in the health office stating that the child is negative for COVID-19, has been diagnosed with an alternative illness, or has complied with the mandated quarantine time. Once documentation is reviewed, the Ada-Borup Health Care Staff will contact you to let you know when the child may return.
