Adena Elementary School Parents and/or Guardians, Our Adena Elementary School Parent Advisory Committee will be meeting on Tuesday, January 24th at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in our school library. The committee meets once a month and an agenda is shared with the group prior to each meeting. One of the topics that the six parents on the committee have been discussing is how they can help thank our staff for what they do for our students. Our teachers and support staff wear a lot of hats and take on a lot of different responsibilities to meet the needs of our students. They are a dedicated group and their love for our students is evident. As a team, we will come up with a plan to treat our staff with gifts and surprises throughout the remainder of the school year to thank them for all that they do for our Warriors. Other items that will be discussed at the next meeting are our adolescent literacy plan, state test results, and updates on PBIS. If you are interested in joining our Adena Elementary School Parent Advisory Committee, please email Josh Jones at josh.jones@adenalocalschools.com. Joshua A. Jones Elementary School Principal Adena Local Schools

Important Message from Adena Schools The flu and other viruses are currently making their way through the school. We continue to sanitize daily, but we are beginning to see significant numbers of students ill, especially in the elementary. Several students have gone home ill today. We have many staff out sick as well, and we have used nearly all of our supply of substitute teachers at this time. Please help slow the spread by being aware of the following: 1. If your child does not feel well, please don’t send them to school. Just remember to call in the absence in a timely manner. 2. If your child has a fever- keep them at home until they are fever free for 24 hours. 3. Remind your child to wash their hands frequently, and keep hands away from their face. 4. Try to avoid crowded situations in public places if possible until the viruses burn out. Have a back-up child care plan in place for the short term. We hope to make it through to break, but we are very close to having to close school if these trends continue. If we do have to close school we will try to call by 6:00 a.m. at the latest. We appreciate your help and cooperation. Be careful, stay well, and be Warrior strong!
