 OGT Testing Week, March8 to March 12, 2010:

Please remember that during the week of March 8-12, the Ohio Graduation Test will be given to all sophomore students and any junior and senior students who have not passed all 5 parts of the OGT. Because of the large number of students being tested, OLS High Schools will operate on a delayed start schedule. Students taking the OGT are to report to school at their regularly scheduled (7:20 a.m.) time for testing. All students NOT required to take the test will follow the two-hour delay schedule. Those students will not be required to report to school until 9:20 a.m. Because this two-hour delay schedule is specific to the high schools and not the entire District, busses will transport students at their normal school time- NOT THE TWO-HOUR DELAY TIME- the normal school schedule time. For any students needing or wanting to arrive at school at the normal school time, academic support will be available on an as needed basis. Freshmen students who arrive at 7:20 a.m. are expected to report to the commons for supervised study time. Academic support will be available for them.
