Adams County Ohio Valley School District School/Community:
The safety of our staff and students is always a priority. This evening, the district Safety Coordinator, Mike Parker, made me aware of the rumor of the TiKTok challenge encouraging students to make violent threats toward schools on Friday, December 17th. To date, NO threats have been reported either regionally or locally.

REMINDER: Math Family Night will be tomorrow, Wednesday, November 17th from 5-6 p.m. in our small gym. Only the parents, students and siblings may attend (no additional family members or friends, due to COVID regulations).
The theme will be an escape room. Each grade level will have a table set up. ONLY families of students in that grade level can visit the grade level's table. Students and their families will have three math activities to complete in order to "escape" their room. When the student/family completes the first activity, the student will receive a small prize. When they complete the second level/activity, the student will receive a slightly bigger prize. When they complete the third activity/task, they will have officially escaped and will have a family picture taken that will be posted on our school's Facebook page.
In addition, during Family Math Night, the Technology teacher, Mrs. Bengtson, and Intervention Specialist, Stacey Camp, will briefly share information to help clarify solutions to the most commonly asked technology questions. A page of prepared notes will be provided for parents. The sessions will begin and end promptly in the Computer Lab. These are the technology session times: 5:00 - 5:20 = Kindergarten/1st grade; 5:20 - 5:40 = 2nd/3rd grades; 5:40 - 6:00 = 4th/5th/6th grades
