Reminder: Food Distribution at Grace Fellowship Church in Peebles will be this evening, Wednesday, December 16th at 5 p.m.
Upon review of the Adams County School/Community, staffing needs, student needs, and discussions with Dr. Hablitzel, the Adams County Ohio Valley School District will resume in-person school on Thursday, December 10th. We welcome our students back!
REMINDER:
Please be sure students are turning in their work for academic classes weekly!!! If your child is completing online, these will be submitted electronically each week on the grade level's assigned due date. If your child is completing paper packets, please ensure that you drop off work weekly in the front lobby of the school. There are labeled areas for each grade level as well as specials (music, art, PE, and technology). Drop-off and pick-up is available 24/7 in the lobby/foyer area of PES.
NOTE: All specials (music, art, PE, and technology) is due by December 11th.
Please be aware that if work is not turned in by due dates established by the grade levels, the work will be considered "late" or may not be accepted if not turned in within a timely manner. Any work not completed/turned in, will be assessed as a "zero" in the student's Progress Book records.
We appreciate your help with this, and look forward to seeing the students back here on Thursday, December 10th!!
