Mrs. Pletcher's class learned about the importance of voting today. We read Duck for President, created Voter Identification Cards, and then casted our ballots for either Farmer Brown or Duck (Duck won by a landslide).
FJSHS sophomores visited Vanguard to learn about the different opportunities available.
Hello Parents and Guardians,
With the second quarter beginning, please take a moment to review your student's information in Final Forms. Accurate information helps us provide the best support throughout the school year.
Be sure to check the McKinney-Vento Residential Status section under contact information. This section identifies students who may be experiencing housing instability, allowing us to connect them with the appropriate resources.
Here are a few status options:
Stable Housing
Sharing Housing Due to Financial Hardship
Hotel, Motel, or Campground
Emergency/Transitional Shelter
Unconventional Residence (e.g., car, park)
Foster/Court-Placed or Kinship Care
Unaccompanied Youth
If your current situation is temporary or lacks stability due to financial hardship , your student may qualify for additional support under the McKinney-Vento Act.
Thank you for ensuring your student’s details are up to date. Your cooperation helps us better support their success. Please reach out if you have questions or need assistance.

Hello FCS Parents,
This is just a reminder about the Caring Closet request form for basic needs items.
Fostoria Schools provides a food pantry with non-perishable food and a Caring Closet that offers hygiene and personal care products for students and their families in need. If you need food or essential care items, please fill out the request form, listing the items you need and how you would like to receive them. We will work to get your items to you as quickly as possible. For urgent help, feel free to reach out to the District School Caseworker, a School Counselor, or any school staff member. We are here to support you!
There are also posters in every building that have links to student request forms for students who need items from the Caring Closet.
Parents of FCS students can use the link below to request items from the Caring Closet.
Thank you.
