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

Hello Federal Hocking Community. I hope that everyone is safe after a monstrous snowstorm.
Due to the condition of our secondary roads, all Federal Hocking schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
We will continuously monitor our roads over the next 24 hours in hopes of returning to school. We will keep our entire community's safety first and foremost as we make our decisions.
Continue to monitor our athletics page for updates regarding events.
I hope our students are enjoying time outside in the snow. I would love to share pictures on our Facebook page if you have photos of our students in the snow. Please send them to jspencer@fhlancers.com for review.
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.
The Amesville Running Club was greeted by a special guest Thursday morning! The Grinch helped us reach a total of 5,916 miles so far this year! Only 6, 084 to go! Log those miles at home over break, Runners!
Come celebrate with us!
