All current Federal Hocking 5th and 6th grade students will be transported via bus on Tuesday morning to be dropped off at 9am at the middle school. Your child’s bus driver has been communicating pickup time - if you are unsure of pickup time, please ask your driver or call the administrative office. If you’re a walker to the elementary school, please be in the parking lot by 8:30am. If guardians plan to drive their students to the middle school, please arrive at 9am.
All students will receive breakfast, lunch, and a Kona Ice dessert before departing the middle school at 2:45pm.

Dear School Community,
Federal Hocking Local Schools is committed to the safety and health of our students and staff. We want to inform you that we have recently received information about at least five confirmed case of COVID-19 in students at Amesville Elementary School. Cleaning and disinfecting of the exposed locations has been completed.
We are working closely with the Athens City-County Health Department and anyone identified as a close contact will be notified by the health department as a part of COVID-19 investigation.
How You Can Help
Be proactive about reducing the number of interactions that students and staff have with one another by practicing social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart) to limit the spread of COVID-19. In addition to physical distancing, these important tools help to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Wear a mask or face covering while in public places or if people who don’t live with you must visit your home.
• Avoid unnecessary gatherings with people who don’t live in your home.
• Avoid sharing food, drinks, or utensils.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Sing the Happy Birthday song twice to help know when it has been 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and then dispose of the tissue and wash your hands immediately. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve, not your hands, to cover coughs and sneezes. If you are experiencing cough or congestion, consider staying home and seeking medical care.
• Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends cleaning of frequently touched surfaces with household cleaners and EPA-registered disinfectants that are appropriate for the surface, following label instructions. A simple bleach solution may also be utilized.
If you have any questions, contact Federal Hocking Local Schools at 740-662-6691 or the Athens City-County Health Department at 740-592-4431. Thank you for helping to keep people safe and to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and school.
For answers to your COVID-19 questions, call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH (1-833-427-5634) or visit coronavirus.ohio.gov.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you or a loved one are experiencing anxiety related to the coronavirus pandemic, help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call the COVID-19 CareLine at 1-800-720-9616.
Sincerely,
David F. Hanning, Superintendent
