District Update 4-06-2020 / Superintendent John Balzer
Hello Adena Schools Families,
AS we enter into the rough period of the COVID19 pandemic I want to give you several important reminders.
We have a link on our Facebook page or the front of our webpage to connect you to the virtual help desk. The desk is checked frequently and you can usually get a response on the same day you post a request.
Children 18 years of age and younger living in the Adena School District are eligible to receive free shelf-stable breakfast and lunch items. We currently provide one week’s worth of meals at each pickup, currently occurring on Thursdays. You can sign up for assistance by going on our Facebook page or district webpage (www.adenalocalschools.com) to fill out an electronic request or call 740-998-4633 and leave a message.
If you change residences or double up in a home with a friend or relative please call 740-998-4633 and leave a message with the district office. This machine is checked regularly. We need to keep all student addresses up to date. Also, if you become homeless during the COVID19 pandemic please contact the district office to let us know. We do provide assistance to homeless students and their families to enable them to continue their education. This is also a time to complete the 2020 Census form using your phone, laptop or tablet. It will be CRUCIAL to help keep our tax dollars in Ross County helping our local schools and governments provide badly needed services to our residents and funds to our children. Go to 2020census.gov to complete your form. Thank you for supporting our community and our children!
We are continuing instruction via distance learning. Our staff have adapted quickly to using Google Classroom to provide instruction during the closing of the building. With the return of warm weather, we encourage all students to make sure they keep up with their lessons and turn in assignments. School is still functioning, just from a different location. Parents, please help us by establishing your expectations for your children to continue their studies. There will be no instruction on Friday, April 10th and Monday, April 13th. Please use this time for family activities. Also, please remember we have to keep the playground (including the basketball hoops) closed during April. Nobody should come to the school to play on the equipment or use the basketball courts for obvious reasons of safety. We look forward to a time when this will once again be an option for families.
Please take a moment to look at the Senior profiles Mr. Jones is posting on our Adena Facebook page. We are proud of our Senior students, and they have worked hard to overcome many obstacles. We are determined to provide prom and graduation to this class. They’ve earned those privileges and we want to insure they have these opportunities. We are currently working to set dates in June for both. More information will come as we get dates confirmed.
The Administration, Staff and Board of Adena Local Schools want to thank all students, families and the community for your support and understanding during this difficult time in our country. Remember that Adena Schools will do all it can to help the students, their families and the community through this event in every way we can. Stay safe, Stay well and STAY HOME. We are flattening the curve! Together, we are Warrior Strong!
