North Adams Elementary welcomes student teachers, as they prepare to become classroom teachers! This week, student teacher, Ms. Weakley created a fun and engaging lesson with some of the students. Ms. Weakley read the book, "How to Catch A Turkey" aloud to the students. After the read aloud the students completed a graphic organizer that Ms. Weakley designed explaining the steps it took to catch a turkey. Finally, the students built a turkey trap to catch the turkey out of marshmallows and toothpicks.

🚨 Lockdown Alarm Update – No Threat to Campus 🚨
At approximately 2:22 PM, our lockdown alarm inadvertently dropped during dismissal. This was a false alarm, and our District Technology Department is already working to resolve the issue within the system.
We want to reassure our families that THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE THREAT TO CAMPUS.
Our School Resource Officer and administration quickly responded, cleared the building and outside of our campus, and students and staff resumed normal dismissal routines at 2:27 PM.
As always, we are grateful for the quick actions of our staff and students and appreciate your continued support.

📣 New State Attendance Rules – What Families Need to Know
👨👩👧👦 Adams County Ohio Valley Schools
Ohio has updated how student attendance is tracked statewide with HB 96. Here’s what families need to know ⬇️
📊 What’s Changing?
Ohio now includes all absences (excused & unexcused) when identifying students who are chronically absent.
➡️ Chronic absenteeism = 10% of missed school days (about 2+ days per month)
➡️ Even excused absences count
🚨 Truancy Rules (Unexcused Absences Only – these laws remain the same)
⚠️ 30+ hours unexcused (consecutive)
⚠️ 42+ hours unexcused in one month
⚠️ 72+ hours unexcused in a year
📌 What Families Must Do
✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the school day
✔️ Send written documentation (note, email, doctor slip) when your child returns
❤️ Why This Matters
Missing school = missing:
✨ Learning
✨ Relationships
✨ Opportunities
STRIVE FOR 5 – EVERY DAY COUNTS

At 11:22 AM, a lockdown alarm was triggered at North Adams Elementary. Our staff, students, and School Resource Officer responded immediately and appropriately, reporting to their designated safe areas. Students who were at recess were quickly escorted by administration to secure locations, and students in the cafeteria were guided to secure areas by our lunch and grade-level staff.
Administration and our school resource officers monitored both the interior of the building and the outside campus throughout the process. After a thorough investigation, we determined that the alarm was activated inadvertently.
To be clear, there is NO CREDIBLE THREAT to our campus. As of 11:42 AM, we have resumed our normal daily activities.
Our staff and students did a phenomenal job responding calmly and efficiently. Their actions ensured a safe and orderly transition throughout the brief incident.

1st grade has made it back to the top! We fell short of meeting our building-wide goal today. We hope everyone who is sick gets feeling better so we can see you back at school. WE MISS YOU! Let's get back up above 95%!
