The Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) is aware of online threats of violence that have been made to Ohio schools today that are similar to threats made in other states recently. The OSSC is actively working with the Statewide Terrorism Analysis and Crime Center and Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as schools and local law enforcement to support their efforts in investigation of these threats.
While some of the threats have been determined to be false through law enforcement investigation, the OSSC takes all threats to schools seriously and recommends that schools and first responders do the same.
No Threats have been made that are specific to Adena Local Schools.
The home team takes home an awesome victory Saturday evening over Piketon! 54-53

"Had an amazing time with Choir Director June Wayland and the Adena Junior Choirs as we sang Christmas carols with the residents at the Vineyards at the Concord. Seeing the joy on their faces as we spread some holiday cheer was heartwarming. We also passed out Christmas cards, gifts, and cookies, making it a memorable experience for all involved. Thank you, Vineyards, for allowing us to share in this day. Happy Holidays!"

Third graders, Liam and Halle have been hard at work learning about the human body! After an independent dive into a chapter titled All About Bones, Liam and Halle collaborated to create a Blooket set based on the chapter's content. Blooket is a gamified educational platform that allows the user to create a variety of activities to practice specific learning objectives. Using a rubric to guide their work, these students created and then led classmates through an engaging Blooket activity where all students got to show off what they have been learning! Liam and Halle displayed motivation, problem-solving and tech skills, and an eagerness to learn and share! Way to go, Warriors!
Dear Parents / Guardians,
Reminder, student’s CAN NOT bring pills or medicated ointment to school. The nurse is not allowed to administer or apply these before obtaining proper orders from each student’s physician. New physician order paperwork must be completed EACH SCHOOL YEAR, in order for prescription medications to be administered at school. This requires a parent / guardian signature and for the physician to complete their portion of the paperwork. Please reach out to Nurse Courtney Hines via email or telephone, to arrange a time to meet, if your student needs to receive prescription medication at school.
Reminders:
All medications must be brought to the nurse by an adult and cannot be transported on a bus.
All medications must be in their original containers with pharmacy prescription labels intact and legible.
Paperwork must be completed for ALL inhalers, even if the student is allowed to carry them on their person.
Sincerely,
Courtney Hines, BSN, RN
District Nurse
