📣 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

I am looking for Assistant Track Coaches for the Spring. These would be volunteer positions so you can choose how much you help and how many days you can be available. Previous track experience is preferred. We should have good numbers this year for both teams so any help would be greatly appreciated! If you're interested in helping please don't hesitate to contact me at stone.crothers@ovsd.us.
From Coach Crothers,
Hello all soccer alumni, I am looking to compile school records for the soccer program for both boys and girls. These would include Career Goals, Goals in a season, Assists in a season/career, and shutouts. I am also looking for overall Win/Loss records for coaches as well. If you previously coached or have records that can be verified please reach out to me at stone.crothers@ovsd.us.
Come see what’s at your fingertips, explore programs, meet our amazing staff, and discover how you can become a Pioneer.
