📅 Religious Expression Days & Holiday Calendar Guidance

As required by Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code 3320.04), Adams County/Ohio Valley School District is providing families with information regarding Religious Expression Days and the District’s non-exhaustive religious holiday calendar for the 2026–2027 and 2027–2028 school years.

Families should know:
• Students may receive up to 3 excused religious expression days each school year.
• Parents/guardians must provide written notice within the required 14-school-day timeframe.
• Reasonable academic accommodations will be provided when an excused religious expression day conflicts with an assessment or major academic requirement.
• Students remain eligible to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities on an excused religious expression day.

The District’s calendar is not an exhaustive list of religious holidays and observances.

📌 Please review the accompanying calendar for dates and additional information.

Please Note: This is a two-year calendar, covering both the 2026–2027 and 2027–2028 school years, and is being provided to assist students and families with planning in advance.

As we head into the final 6 days of school, every day truly matters!

These last few days are important for celebrating accomplishments, completing end-of-year activities, and helping students feel confident and ready for next year.

You may hear the term “chronic absenteeism.” This means a student has missed about 18 days (or 108 hours) of school over the year—whether those absences are excused or unexcused. This is something that is tracked by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce because regular attendance plays a big role in student success.

Even missing a day or two right now can make a difference—especially for students who are close to that threshold.

We need your help to finish strong!
Let’s work together to make sure students are:
✔️ Present
✔️ Engaged
✔️ Ready to finish the year proud

Remember our motto: Strive for 5—Every Day Counts!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership—together, we can make attendance a priority!

Every day. Every hour. Every student. Every school day counts!
