🚍 Bus Transportation Update 🚍
Redmen families, please note that the Here Comes The Bus app will not be live for the first few days of school. During this time, students and drivers are getting used to new routes and stops.
The first week also includes important bus safety lessons, and drivers take extra time to ensure students understand pickup and drop-off procedures. Because of this, buses may run later than usual during the first few weeks as everyone acclimates to the new school year.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep all students safe while adjusting to routines. 💛

Dear Fostoria City Schools Parents,
📚 ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 📚
Every day counts toward your child’s success. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to:
✅ Stay on track with learning
✅ Build strong study habits
✅ Graduate ready for the future
As we begin this new school year, let’s work together to make sure our students are in class, on time, every day. Your child’s future begins with showing up today!
