I love this school! From the principal, office staff, teachers even the janitor's are all fabulous. We have had three children attend Ada and every teacher our children have had are excellent. My children love school and learning. It is an extremely nurturing place with tremendous parent involvement. Some of our children have had learning challenges that have been addressed wonderful programs and staff. Unfortunately, one of the programs was cut this year (Speech therapy preschool).

Ada Elementary is a wonderful school where kids are valued and educated to the highest standards. Commitment to the students is demonstrated from the superintendent of the district, the prinicipal, extremely dedicated teachers, and high parent involvement. Ada is a warm and friendly place. Everyone is included in activities in the classroom as well as at recess - no matter the child's abilities or race. Year after year, students at Ada Elementary score above 90% on the state assessment test - the MEAP. This district is committed to excellence and delivers. I have had children at Ada for the past 8 years - I can't imagine them anywhere else!

If you truly mean a shy kid who wants to be outgoing, then I would help them interact with one child at a time. If you are talking about an introverted child, refer to http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

Find something you are good at or enjoy doing a lot, just one thing. You'll gain confidence and meet other kids that enjoy that activity too. Mine was singing in choir. I wasn't good at anything else but that built my confidence for other things... More »
