Fostoria City School District

Please see the following information regarding FCS and the upcoming solar eclipse.

Sometimes, we all find ourselves in situations where we could use a little extra support. At FCS, we understand this and want to make sure our families have access to the resources and assistance they need. That's why we have created a virtual resource site where you can find information about available resources, support services, and upcoming events. You can visit the site at: https://www.fostoriaschools.org/o/fcs/page/virtual-resource-hub. In addition to the virtual resource site, we also have a food pantry for students and parents who may be in need, as well as a Care Closet that provides hygiene products, thanks to the support of Imagine for Youth. If you or your student ever find yourselves in need of basic necessities, please don't hesitate to reach out to our District School Caseworker, your student's School Counselor, or any other trusted staff member. Remember, it's absolutely okay to ask for help. We're here for you.

FCS families, this is a reminder there is no school for students next Monday.

It's Random Acts of Kindness Week: Be Kind!

This school year, Fostoria Junior High School is collaborating in an intercultural exchange activity with the partner school: IESO La Falcata, in Villafranca de los Caballeros, Toledo (Spain). 9th, 10th and 11th graders enjoyed chatting and exchanging cultural information with their penpals: they learnt about the different schedules in Spain, the time of difference between both countries; they introduced themselves and exchanged their hobbies and likes. In a short time, the students will exchange letters with their penpals in Spain. We would like to thank the school for accepting this exchange cultural activity, and especially the Teacher Lucía Menchén Márquen and the Principal Rosa María Escalona Díaz-Mingo. Este curso escolar, Fostoria Junior High School está colaborando en una actividad de intercambio intercultural con el centro asociado IESO La Falcata, en Villafranca de los Caballeros, Toledo (España). Los alumnos de 9º, 10º y 11º grado (3ESO, 4ESO y 1º Bachillerato) disfrutaron charlando e intercambiando información cultural con sus amigos por correspondencia: conocieron los diferentes horarios de España, la diferencia horaria entre ambos países, se presentaron e intercambiaron sus aficiones y gustos. Dentro de poco, los alumnos intercambiarán cartas con sus amigos por correspondencia en España. Queremos agradecer al colegio la aceptación de esta actividad cultural de intercambio, y en especial a la Profesora Lucía Menchén Márquen y a la Directora Rosa María Escalona Díaz-Mingo.

Congratulations to senior Machi Johnson on breaking the school record tonight and becoming the all time leading scorer for FHS basketball!!
