Ohio State Tests (OSTs) Retakes
The window for OST end-of-course exam retakes is now through Friday, December 13th. The only students participating in these exams are select groups of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Seniors participating in these exams were notified through an individual conference with their school counselor and parents will receive this same information in the mail. The select group of sophomores and juniors includes any student that needs to retake an exam in order to earn a competency score and/or seal to meet Ohio’s graduation requirements. These sophomores and juniors will be notified through an individualized Canvas message. Students in these select groups should be prepared to take these exams on the designated day by reporting to the Media Center at 7:40 a.m. with a fully-charged iPad that has the Secure Test app downloaded from Self-Service. Reach out to your student’s school counselor or Mr. Anderson, Assistant Principal, with any questions.
