Due to weather conditions, Fostoria City Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay today, Tuesday, December 2nd.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’re excited to welcome students back on Monday, Dec. 1st — because every day counts!
Regular attendance helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Let’s make every day a great day to learn at FCS!
Caring Closet & Pay It Forward Student Center 🛍️
Did you know Fostoria City Schools offers free essentials for students and families in need?
*Caring Closet – Initiated and sponsored by Imagine for Youth, this district-wide program supports all FCS students and families. Items include hygiene products , clothing , school supplies , snacks, and more. Requests can be made via Google Form or by contacting our Social Worker, Mrs. Hinke.
Parent Request Form: https://forms.gle/TND1qUL7Qu2ybeKH6
*Pay It Forward – A student “free store” at Fostoria Jr/Sr High School, offering school supplies , clothing , hygiene items , snacks, and more for JSHS students. Coordinated by Mrs. Woodward and student volunteers, students can access items during open times or submit a request form. Paper request forms are available outside the store, and a virtual form is linked in each grade’s Google Classroom.
Both programs are donation-based and help students focus on learning by providing what they need, at no cost.
Students and families can reach out to any trusted staff member if they need assistance with basic necessities. We’re happy to help! 💖
With colder weather here, please make sure students come to school dressed for the conditions.
