A Socially-Distanced Friday Shout-Out to these three ladies that make up our AMAZING Special Education Teaching Team here at Ada-Borup Elementary. You are true super heroes!
Hello Elementary Families!
We want to make sure that our parents and guardians take the time to talk with their children about safe routes to school.
Due to construction this year, we have new challenges with our pathways. Please take a look at the attached map for the most up-to-date information.
The bike rack is now located on the south-side of the building. Bike riding is not allowed on school property by students and they must be walked on the sidewalk adjacent to the bus lane. This is to ensure the safety of all of our students.

First week of school is in the books at Ada Borup Elementary. Although it looked a little different than last year, it was a great one!
As we prepare for our first day of school tomorrow, we would like to share a few reminders:
Parent drop off will be in the north parking lot. There will be a one-way, drop-off lane.
Only students and staff will be allowed in the building.
If your child is riding bike to school, please visit with them about a safe path to school. Bike racks are located on the south-side of the school by the bus lanes.
We will have additional staff outside to aid students in finding their way to breakfast or their classrooms.
If your child is not riding the bus, please don’t drop them off until 8:05am if at all possible.
Preschool’s first day is Monday, September 21st.
We are really excited to see all of our students. Here’s to a great start to the school year!
