We have an amazing team of teachers and staff working hard to keep our students engaged and learning during distance learning. Here are just a few of them!
This post is from one of our wonderful teachers, Mrs. Larson, for our students and families as we start 8 days of distance learning.
Dear parents of elementary school children,
I know you all are stressed and anxious, we are also. When you wake up in the morning keep your school day routine as much as possible. However, add an extra dose of positivity and encouragement.
Your children are strong, flexible, intelligent and resilient. Give them the chance to find success. They need you to believe in them and believe that this can work.
We are in this together.
To wrap up National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month we will be showing our support by wearing kindness or anti-bullying shirts on Tuesday, October 27th and Wednesday, October 28th. Find your shirts that have positive messages, positive symbols, or that reflect kindness or anti-bullying and help us celebrate!
We are celebrating National Bus Safety Week here at Ada-Borup Elementary. Today our focus was on bus evacuation.
