Coshocton City Schools -

Hello, this is Dave Hire, Superintendent of the Coshocton City Schools, with an important announcement for all parents of students who ride the bus. Our original intent with all bus riders was to keep one student to each seat, unless students were from the same household. Our busing numbers have been increasing as more students are needing transportation and we will be making a change to our seating requirements. We are able to utilize 22 of the seats on each bus and we have a few buses that will need to have more than one student in a seat. Some buses still have only one student per seat, while other buses may need to have two students per seat. We have been in consultation with the city health department and we are able to have two students per seat if necessary. Students will still be expected to wear face masks at all times on the bus, and we will continue to keep our bus routes as short as possible to minimize the time on the bus. Every effort will be made to keep families together, followed by students in the same classes, followed by neighborhood locations, so that students are near other students that they may already play with or who are from the same group bus stops We will continue to disinfect our buses between each run with different students. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this change. We will have to be flexible to continue to provide needed transportation for our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jennifer Andrews at the bus garage.

Good afternoon, this is Tim Jones, assistant principal at Coshocton High School. This message is for remote APEX learners grades 6-12. Everyone should have received an email asking you to accept a request to join our Remote Learner Google Classroom. If you have forgotten your Coshocton City Schools password, please contact the CHS office and we will work with you to reset it. Grades 7-12 have at least one course loaded in your APEX account. 6th grade students, we have encountered technical problems in terms of linking the elementary to the high school. Our tech staff is working on this and should have problem solved by end of the day. All remote learners grades 6-12 should be ready to begin tomorrow, September 9. The expectation is remote learning grades 6-12 will begin tomorrow. I personally apologize for this inconvenience. Finally, CHS remote learners will be receiving information regarding a Zoom orientation for Thursday, September 10. Times will be communicated to you. You will also be receiving an email from your remote teacher of record. Once again, if you have any questions, please contact me, Tim Jones at 622-9433. I appreciate your patience and have a great day.

Good morning, this is Tony Meiser, Asst. Principal at CES and your remote learning contact with a very important message for parents and guardians of remote learners. I just want to reemphasize that we are not going to be starting with our K-5 Edgenuity platform today. For the next couple of days, students will be contacted by their teachers to do various activities to prepare for the year. Part of what they will be doing is verifying the contact information and student email information with you, ensuring that you have the appropriate technology and getting to know your student. AGAIN, there will be no work on Edgenuity for students yet. You will receive a welcome email from the platform with your student’s username and password in the next few days. Once that happens, we will be giving you more direction and beginning with the platforms. This delay in beginning with the platform will give us the opportunity to be fully prepared to meet the needs of our students and get to know them before we get started. We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we are working with the companies to get everything up and running for our students. Don’t forget to attend one of our informational meetings either tonight at 6:00pm or tomorrow at 10:00am. You will be getting a text message with the zoom link later this morning. Thank you.

Hello this is Tony Meiser, Asst. Principal at CES and your remote learning contact with a very important message for parents and guardians of remote learners. We are excited to get started on the Edgenuity platform, but want to do a few things first to get everyone prepared for this new year. We will be hosting informational meetings via ZOOM for our parents and students Tuesday and Wednesday. We are asking that you join us for one of the meetings. The first one will be Tuesday at 6:00pm and the second one will be on Wednesday at 10:00am. During these meetings, we will be explaining procedures for attendance, going over school supply lists, sharing recommendations for best practices for remote learning, introducing you to your child’s teacher and providing any additional updates we may receive by that time. We will put out another message with the zoom meeting link via phone and text within 24 hours of the live presentation. We appreciate the patience and understanding you’ve shown as we work to navigate these uncharted waters together. As always, I am available to answer any of your questions with the most updated information I have available to me. Please feel free to call me at 740-622-5114 or email me at tony.meiser@coshoctoncityschools.com. #CoshoctonPride

Hello, this is Dave Hire, Superintendent of the Coshocton City Schools, with an important announcement for all parents and staff about the start of school next week. School will begin next week but we will be making an adjustment for our first two (2) school days in order to have smaller class sizes as we work with students and staff on safety protocols and procedures, bus procedures, our arrival and dismissal routines, as well as our lunch, restroom and recess expectations. Students will be off on Monday due to Labor Day. We will be using our modified schedule of two different student groups for the first two days of school at this time. Please note that this is a change for our students next week. Students in Group A will attend on Tuesday, September 8th. Students in Group B will attend on Wednesday, September 9th, and all face to face students will attend beginning on Thursday, September 10th. Again, only students in Group A (which is half of our students) will attend on Tuesday, September 8th and only students in Group B will attend on Wednesday, September 9th. You will receive information from the buildings about which group your student is in (either Group A or Group B) in the next few days. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this change. This new process will help our students and staff better adapt with all the new changes. I apologize for any inconvenience, and I thank you for your attention to this message.
