Good afternoon Lancer Land.

Today's poem is based on the classic "Casey at the Bat" by Ernest Thayer...my apologies to the author

Lancers in the Snow

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Lancers on that day
As thermometers showed termperatures that from freezing had not strayed
Deep into the night the cold air blew, the weather was not nice
Everyone knew that the daylight would bring back roads covered in ice

Oh somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light
And somewhere buses are running, and classrooms are all aglow
But there is not joy in Lancer Land as school is still closed for snow

Yes, Federal Hocking Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30th. However, at this time we do intend to open on Monday, Feb. 2 with a two hour delay and bus plan A. So, closed tomorrow, opening on Monday. Stay warm!

Hey there Lancer Land, here is today's poem, a limerick this time

My poetry is not all that bad
But when the phone rings parents are sad
Yet the children all say
Let's sleep in then go play
Because another snow day is to be had

There you go, for Thursday, January 29th, Federal Hocking Schools will be closed. We are doing what we can but the back roads are still covered with snow and the deep freeze every night just ices them over. As stated earlier this week, we will be adding make up days. We will keep you informed.

Hey Lancer Land, its the doctor with today's poem...

First there was snow and then there was sleet
Making it hard to stay on your feet
But our custodians they were up to the task
Clearing sidewalks and lots so that we could pass
But alas the element they have conspired
The back roads still won't hold on to your tires
And that is why I am calling to say
Tomorrow will be another snow day

That's correct, for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28th Federal Hocking Schools will be closed.

Hey Lancer Land, I'm sure you're not surprised
To hear my voice with a poem I've comprised
As we all expected, having been detected
The snow is coming down and covering the groud
Now the temperture is dropping, causing snow melt stopping,
Making all the roads a mess, despite crews trying thier best
So there's no need to delay, in having to say
Federal Hocking schools are closed for the next two days

For Monday, January 26th and Tuesday, January 27th, Federal Hocking Schools will be closed. We wanted to give families plenty of time to plan for this closure. Also, as this takes us beyond five days of closures, we will be adding days to the school calendar for make up. Once we have returned to school, we will let you know when the make up days will be scheduled.

It's really cold and really slick
Some of the snow decided to stick
And that is why we're calling to say
Federal Hocking Schools
Are on a two hour delay.

This is not an emergency. We just wanted families to know that our buses are running about 20 minutes late from the middle and high school and this may cause some delay in the elementary buses.

Our high school interns welcomed two guest speakers who offered advice and shared their own internship experiences. Olivia Amlin (FH Class of 2023) and Darius Pierce (FH Class of 2024) did an incredible job and we want to wish all of our current interns the best as they are off to begin their placements tomorrow!

Christmas Bus Drivers
Lancer Familes,

We wanted you to know that today we sent home with all students the new handbook rules again explaining that all personal communication devices (cell phones, watches, ipads, computers, etc.) are, as of January 1, prohibited during school hours as per state law. Further, while students may bring such devices to school, they must be turned off and stored in their lockers. The handbook page we are sending home explains the consequences of refusing to follow this rule.

If your child did not bring the handbook page home to you, it can be found on our website. We appreciate your cooperation with this new state law and school board policy.
