Welcome to Ada Elementary!
Welcome to Ada Elementary located within the Forest Hills School District, one of our Nation’s great public school systems! This summer we have been busy working on a new website which we are pleased to unveil to you.
We invite you to explore our new site and learn more about the district and what makes Ada Elementary so unique. The new site offers many exciting facts, figures, features and new functionality: A new Interactive Google Calendar for both the District and our school, thus enabling you to add either calendar to your other calendars; School Directories are now embedded Google Docs making it easy for you to access information; Search functionality; new Google Maps enable you to get walking, biking and driving directions to school with real-time traffic updates; Local Weather Forecasts; District-wide and school specific news updates; many news updates made in real time by members of our teaching staff; compatibility with all browsers-iPads, iPhones, and most Smart Phone devices; and a Twitter News Alert System which will enable you to receive school closing and delay news to your favorite mobile device.
We hope you find this website to be a useful resource for information – whether you are a prospective family, parent, student, or a community stakeholder. Like all websites, you will be able to find lots of information, interesting news and facts, and helpful tools. However, even with the best modern technology has to offer, sometimes there is no substitute for a human connection. We invite you to visit our main office, email us, or contact our main office number at (616) 493-8940 where we will be happy to help you.
Thank you for your interest in and your support of Ada Elementary School.
Sincerely,
Jo Ellen Anderson
Principal

Enjoying the Heat Wave!
Ada students got a chance to bask in the sunshine last week. Students had the opportunity to enjoy their lunches picnic style during our unseasonably warm and sunny Spring weather.
Usually they do not have the chance to lunch outdoors until the end of the school year. Mother Nature was kind to us this year though and sent us a little preview of what was to come. Fresh air and sunshine does a lot to wet the appetite and promote good digestion. The rays also boosted everyone’s spirits! Hooray for sunshine!
