We have so many things to brag about! These 6th-graders have already met their first AR goal. Abel was showing kindness to others. The 5th-grade students have been working hard in class. And our 1st-graders have been what it looks like to be very responsible. We are proud of all of these students for making great choices!

Students in 6th grade Social Studies have been learning about why it is important to study History, and all about the work of Historians. Today students became HISTORIANS by examining technology artifacts. They made observations about the items, sketched them, gave them a name (if they were unsure what the item was) and determined who used it, why they used it and which time period it was from. Top items in the museum included the typewriter, phone book, and a cellphone that had a keyboard that slid out.

At the start of the school year, each class received a Mr. Potato Head. Each morning when a class records perfect attendance, they get to add a piece to their figurine. Once the class completes their Mr. Potato Head, we have a small party to recognize perfect attendance.
Today, we celebrated Mrs. Grooms’ first grade class and Mrs. Kirker’s kindergarten class for getting their Mr. Potato Head together. Students in both classes received a potato chip party and had a special visitor!

📚 September is Attendance Awareness Month!
STRIVE FOR 5! Every Day Counts!
Regular attendance is essential to student success, and new attendance requirements under Ohio House Bill 96 (HB 96), effective August 1, 2026, require schools to provide families with earlier notification when students begin accumulating missed instructional time.
⚠️ 5% Early Warning Notification
All students who miss 5% of the school year for ANY reason will receive an Early Warning Letter. This includes excused and unexcused absences, medical absences, and missed instructional time due to late arrivals or leaving early.
For ACOVSD, 5% of Ohio’s minimum required instructional hours equals:
🏥 Medical Excuses Matter!
Although chronic absenteeism includes ALL missed instructional time regardless of the reason, it is VERY important for families to submit medical excuses to the school for medically related absences. Only five (5) parent notes are permitted/accepted per semester, so please be sure to provide documentation from a medical provider when applicable.
📌 10% Chronic Absenteeism Threshold
Students who miss 10% or more of the school year for any reason meet the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s definition of chronic absenteeism and will also receive a notification letter as required under HB 96.
For ACOVSD, 10% of Ohio’s minimum required instructional hours equals:
