Ohio Graduation Test

The Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) will be administered to all sophomores and students that have already taken the tests, yet need to pass one or more sections of the OGT, during the week of March 10th thru 14th. The order of tests will be MondayReading, Tuesday-Math, Wednesday-Writing, Thursday-Science and Friday-Social Studies. Students taking the test should report to their assigned testing room by the regular time of 7:35 a.m. Juniors/Seniors ( who have passed all OGTs) along with 7th, 8th and 9th grade students will be on a 2 hour delay schedule the week of March 10th 14th. These students should report to their first period class by 9:35 a.m. We ask that upon arrival to school, these students remain in the cafeteria until 9:25 a.m. so as not to interrupt those students taking the OGT. Students that are on a 2 hour delay schedule will not be bussed to Fostoria Junior/Senior High School and will be responsible for their own transportation to school. Any bus eligible Junior, Senior, 7th , 8th or 9th grader that wants to ride the bus at the regularly scheduled time may do so. These students will be asked to remain in the cafeteria from their arrival time to school until 9:25 a.m. If you have any questions, please contact Fostoria Jr./Sr. High School at 419-436-4110. During OGT testing week March 10th-14th, there will NOT be a one hour delay on Wednesday, March 12, 2014.

Congratulations to the 8th grade girls basketball team for winning the Jr. High NBC tournament. On Saturday, Feb. 8th, they defended their championship title, by defeating Woodmore 37-30 after a dramatic comeback in the 2nd quarter. Fostoria trailed 120 in the 1st quarter to tie it up at 14-14 at the half and never looked back in the 2nd half of the game. They ended the season with a 14-2 record. NICE JOB LADIES!
