The Adams County/Ohio Valley School Administrative team met to discuss how Covid-19 impacts the remainder of the 2020 school year. Regrettably, due to ongoing medical recommendations we will be unable to host Spring Athletics, Spring Banquets, the School Musical or School Prom.
Celebrating the culmination of our senior's school career is of the upmost importance to us. Therefore, we are in the process of creating a plan to honor our seniors with an alternative graduation. The administrative team will be setting up a responsible alternative to the normal graduation ceremony. We will schedule a time for each graduate to come into the building, with up to four family members, to receive their Diploma. The process we be videoed of each graduate receiving their diploma, as well as any other speeches, musical selections, etc... that typically accompany graduation. A compilation of all individual videos will be composed into one Complete Graduation Video. Each graduate and their families will have access to this final video.
Seniors will be notified when to pick up their cap and gowns and to schedule their graduation appointment with their family in the upcoming week.
Special Note: Seniors you will be contacted via email or telephone regarding your future plans and scholarships received. The final video is tentatively slated for release at the end of May.
Thank you for your understanding in this unprecedented time.
