The following message is for any student who wants to take college credit classes next school year through Shawnee State University. ————————————————- COVID-19 Update: We understand that many people still need to take the Accuplacer exam in order to start as new students (if you are over 21), take College Credit Plus courses, or to test out of the Bridge Program.

However, the power packs will be ready for pick up from 11 to 1 in the bubble area in front of the junior high gym. We want to make sure all of our students get food while at the same time maintaining the safety of our staff members and complying with orders from the state government. We are permitted to do this because we are in the act of helping others. The powerpacks will be available to all students who are on the list and have been receiving them from 11 to 1 tomorrow. Anyone who is unable to pick up the power packs due to an unavoidable situation please message me through Facebook or call 740-493-3113 after 8 AM tomorrow.
