❄️Amesville Famies, we will follow our two hour delay schedule tomorrow January 13th. Doors will open at 11:00. ❄️
Fed Hock Families,
Thank you for your patience last week as we navigated through multiple storms. I have been working with our transportation department in preparation for tomorrow, Monday, January 13, 2025.
Currently, we plan to be on a 2-hour delay tomorrow to give our bus drivers and families extra time for safety. We will be utilizing our “Plan A” for transportation. Your bus driver will be in contact with you to arrange pick-up at a different location. If you feel it is best to transport your child to school, you are welcome to do so.
As of right now, we plan to be in school Tuesday at our normal time. We will continue to use “Plan A” transportation until our bus drivers tell me it is safe to travel our normal routes.
Once again, I appreciate your patience as we continue to keep the safety of our students and staff our top priority. We look forward to seeing our kids tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Dr. Spencer
Superintendent
Fed Hock Families,
I hope everyone is doing well after a tough week of weather.
Just in case we need to use our "Plan A" transportation in the future, I wanted to make sure everyone has a copy of the plan.
"Plan A" shows roads that our buses will not travel if we need to use this plan in the future. If we decide to use this plan during bad weather, your bus driver will contact you with a pick-up location.
Thank you for all the pictures of our kids playing in the snow. They make me smile.
Stay safe out there.
Sincerely,
Dr. Spencer
Fed Hock Families,
After careful consideration, we have decided to close all schools on Friday, January 10, 2025.
The condition of our secodary roads makes it unsafe for our students to be on busses. We hope the condition of our secondary roads will improve prior to Monday.
We are anxious to return to school and see our students.
Have a great weekend, and stay safe if you must travel.
Sincerely,
Dr. Spencer

Happy Holidays from all of us at Coolville Elementary!
Amesville counselor, Miss Jamie, helped our third graders show some love to some very deserving pups at the Athens County Dog Shelter. Students made posters for some of the dogs that have been at the shelter the longest. If you are thinking of adopting you can see all of the posters and the dogs at the shelter.
