Morning Student Drop-Off Procedures
To ensure a safe and efficient drop-off process for all students, please follow these important guidelines:
Key Requirements
Pull Forward to End of Sidewalk
Drive all the way to the end of the designated drop-off area
Do not stop directly in front of the doors
This allows more vehicles to unload simultaneously
All vehicles by the sidewalk should be unloading
Quick Exit Procedure
Have your child ready to exit as soon as your vehicle reaches the sidewalk
Multiple students exiting along the sidewalk (rather than just at the doors) significantly reduces wait times
Ensure your child has their belongings ready before reaching the drop-off area
Adults should not be getting out of vehicles
Safety First
Do not create unofficial drop-off points
Students should never cross through traffic
Always use the designated drop-off lane and sidewalk
We appreciate your cooperation in following these procedures. Working together helps ensure all students arrive safely and on time while keeping the drop-off line moving efficiently for everyone.
Please see the following notice from Adena Athletics:
Due to a scheduling conflict, Next weeks girls basketball game against Westfall on Wednesday 11/27 will now be played at home with a JV tip off @ 6pm. As a result, the game against Westfall on 1/11/2025 will now be played at Westfall with a JV tip off set for 1 PM. Varsity will follow both JV games as always. If you have any questions please reach out to the High School office.
As the cooler weather approaches, we want to send a friendly reminder that all elementary students should come to school with a warm coat. The playground and outdoor time can get chilly, and we want to make sure every child stays comfortable and healthy. Please ensure your child brings a coat each day so they can enjoy outdoor activities and stay warm during transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Thank you for your help in keeping our students cozy!
Warmly,
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Bluck
Adena Local schools is in a 2 hour delay today because of fog. Drive safely

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has designated November 11–15, 2024 as National School Psychology Week (NSPW) with the theme “Spark Discovery.” NSPW is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists’ work to help youth thrive, and school communities throughout the United States will participate in activities and initiatives designed to celebrate these critical professionals. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help children and youth succeed socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically.
This year’s theme, “Spark Discovery,” is meant to evoke a sense of pride in school psychologists’ scientist-practitioner training. School psychologists support their communities in exploring connections and pursuing new ideas. Dr. Peter Faustino, NASP President, states, “As we celebrate NSPW, I would like us to remember the profound impact that positive, supportive relationships have in fostering growth and transformation. The power of meaningful connections kindles curiosity, inspires learning, and sparks the discovery of new possibilities in our schools and communities.” Dr. Faustino adds, “In a world full of possibilities, connections are the spark that ignite discovery. Join us in celebrating the power of transformative relationships and the ways that school psychologists help children thrive every day.”
As part of National School Psychology Week, Adena Local Schools would like to recognize our School Psychologist Kaylyn Pryor. We appreciate all she does to "Spark Discovery" within our district.
The National Junior Honor Society will be collaborating with Flossy Sweet Tooth, Krazy Korn Popcorn, and Sweet Williams Honey for a fundraiser beginning now until November 22nd!
