PES will be offering 2 options for Valentine’s Day! We purchased only limited amounts for distribution and would like to offer parents/students the chance to pre-order their gifts. We will also be selling these to students during their lunch through the dates of February 9--11. We will deliver all gifts to the students here at school on February 14. If you would like to pre-order gifts for your child (to him, from him to a teacher, student, family member, etc.), please complete an order form (each student was sent home with a form on February 8th OR you can obtain a form from the office). Send the form with money back to school with your child PRIOR to/ON FEBRUARY 10. A photo of the items can be found on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/Peebles-Elementary-School-1007023599418958

We hope everyone is staying safe and warm!!! We wanted to share a couple of reminders: 1) Today is our 5th and final allowable Snow Day; therefore, no student work/learning sessions are required today. However, if tomorrow is an inclement weather day as well, all PES students will complete assignments and virtual learning sessions required by their grade levels/teachers. Tomorrow would be considered a virtual/Remote Learning day. 2) Don’t forget to read Chapter 3 of The World According to Humphrey tonight! The discussion questions can be found on the TWR website or the school’s Facebook page.

Due to the impending ice storm, the Adams County Ohio Valley School District will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, February 3, 2022.

Good evening parents of Peebles Elementary students! We wanted to make families aware as soon as possible. Due to continued staff shortages for the beginning of next week, PES will be on REMOTE learning for Monday and Tuesday, January 24 and 25th. We apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate everyone’s support and flexibility as we attempt to provide the best services possible during these times. Our intent is to return to in-person learning in Wednesday. We will send further correspondence early next week. Thank you again!

PES is in “Remote Learning” status today and tomorrow, January 20-21. Please ensure that your child (ren) are completing assignments, virtual sessions, etc. as determined by the teachers. We ask that you please also adhere to scheduled times/“office hours” of the teachers. Scheduled times will allow the best access possible for parents and students. The front foyer will remain open for work pick-up through next Monday morning when we hope to return to in-school learning. Thank you for your continued cooperation!

The Adams County Ohio Valley School District will be closed Wednesday, January 19, 2022, due to poor road conditions in some parts of the attendance area.

Update for Peebles Elementary School: Due to continued difficulties with staff coverage and anticipated student/staff absences due to COVID, Peebles Elementary School will continue with REMOTE learning via chromebooks or packets sent home with students last week. PES will be on the Remote/Virtual Learning Plan for Tuesday, January 18 through Friday, January 21. Teachers will be messaging students/parents with directions for how to complete work for the week via their classroom/grade level Bloomz or other social media. In the event that the ACOV school district cancels school for inclement weather/"Snow Day" for the entire district, PES will also be on a "Snow Day" and NO remote/virtual learning is expected for that day. Parents/students, if you have further questions, please feel free to contact your child's teacher. The front office of PES will remain closed to the public throughout this week. In addition, any public events for this week that are currently scheduled for elementary students will be canceled/rescheduled to avoid further contact (pee wee cheer night, practices, weekend games for January 22nd, etc. ). We ask that parents please take extra precaution with avoiding unnecessary contacts to help get our students healthy and back in session in person next week. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your support and understanding!
