Here is a glimpse of the condition of roads throughout the county. Various spotters travel the roads for Carroll County Schools and provide the images to the district, which helps make the decision about closing school.

Hello Panther Families! Due to dangerously cold temperatures and the condition of roadways throughout the county, Carroll County Schools will use its second NTI Day tomorrow, Monday, Dec. 15. Staff members will be working from home, but will contact students regarding their expectations for the day. Stay safe and warm, everyone!

🛠️📚 All Project-Based Learning (PBL) students are required to complete safety training on small power tools, including a written test and hands-on demonstration, before jumping into their projects.
👷‍♂️👷‍♀️ These students, some of whom are in the carpentry program at the Area Technology Center, are working together to build confidence and skill with the equipment. Teamwork at its best! 🤝

❄️We had a little less snow this time, but we still want to give an appreciation shout out to our hard-working maintenance department. 📣They shoveled and plowed snow as well as treated sidewalks and parking lots today. 💪Thank you for all of your efforts! 🖤💛

CCMS eighth grade science students explored the reproductive properties of flowers during a recent lesson in Ms. James' class. Students dissected the flowers with scissors and their hands so they could identify all parts of the flower ✂️🌼. Students were investigating reproduction, heredity, and growth of organisms 🌱🧬.
Thank you to Maribeth's Flowers and Boutique for donating the flowers for our students to dissect and find the reproductive parts. 🙏💐
Students then used Google Drawings to diagram their flowers and their reproductive parts 💻✍️ and will be putting these diagrams into their Panther Path portfolio!

Who are these CCHS students featured in the 1973 yearbook? Put your answers in the comments!

Hello Panther Families,
Weather forecasts for the next few days indicate we are likely to receive snow and experience very cold temperatures. We are monitoring the situation and will keep you informed about school decisions as quickly as possible.
Please note, we utilize information from the National Weather Service Wilmington, Ohio office as the definitive measurement of weather. We view and monitor local meteorologists and we have spotters who drive throughout the county to check roads, but those are only pieces of the decision for Carroll County Schools.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we all prepare for the next round of anticipated winter weather.

🎖️🪖Carroll County Schools proudly honors our graduates currently serving on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. 🪖🎖️
We are incredibly proud of these Panthers and want to take a moment to say thank you for your service. ❤️🤍💙

If you know a CCHS graduate who is currently serving, please share their name, rank, and mailing address so we can recognize and support them. You can comment below or email publicrelations@carroll.kyschools.us. ✉️🎖️

❄️🐾 Hello Panther Families! Winter is here, and that means snow days might be coming! ⛄️ Just a heads-up: any traditional snow days will be made up during the first week designated as Spring Break, March 30–April 3.
📅✈️ Plan ahead and please avoid vacations during that week! Remember, student absences won’t be excused unless a parent note is sent if these days are used as make-ups.
Thanks for your cooperation! 💛🖤

The CCMS bands will perform their winter concert on Thursday, Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. The concert begins at 6 p.m. and is open to the public. Please join us in supporting these talented young musicians! 🎵🎷🎺
