Parent/Guardian Update
Adena Staff Vaccination Day Round #1
Adena Staff have been assigned vaccination times for Thursday, February 25th, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. We will have to travel to Union Scioto Local Schools to receive our shots. Due to the length of time involved for each individual to travel to the site, receive their shot, wait the required 15 minutes and then return, we will have to make February 25th a distance learning day in order to get this accomplished. We want to let everyone know in advance so you can make arrangements.
Our District Required Hours Status is in good standing. We have used a considerable amount of our hours to provide the delayed start requested at the beginning of the year due to the pandemic. We have used 7 weather-related distance learning days and will use 1 day for vaccinations in order to avoid having school in session until June 16th to meet Ohio requirements. It is important to let everyone know that we are carefully tracking academic data this year, and our students are right on target for the expected score levels on achievement measures. Our students are to be commended for keeping up with their work, achieving success in their extracurricular activities and making in-person learning possible through their cooperation with CDC guidelines and Ohio mandates.
Next year we will be able to start on a normal calendar. We certainly hope to use fewer distance learning days and hope the weather cooperates a little better than it has this year. Most importantly, we are guardedly optimistic we can put much of the pandemic-related issues impacting this year behind us. Again, as it stands, we are still on track to be finished with this year on June 4th. We appreciate everyone cooperating and working together to get through the pandemic which is obviously a once-in-a-generation event. Spring will be here soon and hopefully we will be returning to a more normal situation. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our girls' basketball team will be departing school tomorrow at approximately 3:30 p.m. to head to their district semifinal tournament game against North Adams.
They will be escorted by representatives of the Ross County Sheriff Department and both the Deerfield and Concord Township Fire Departments.
Come out and cheer them on as they pass through Frankfort on the way to their game!
Go Warriors!

Our drop off line for elementary students in the front of the building has grown significantly. With that we do realize it is taking longer in the front for drop-off. But please be reminded that all elementary (K-4) and Grade 5 should be dropped off in the front of the building and not in the back of the building, which is for middle school and high school students only.
However, if you have an elementary student and either middle school student(s), high school student(s), or both, then you can drop off all of your students in the front.
Again, there should be no elementary students being dropped off in the back of the school in the mornings.
Thank you,
Lisa Wayland
