OSTC Students
Current OSTC students: Your last day at the technical campus will be Friday, June 10th. Transportation to OSTC is not provided on final exam days (6/13-6/15). If you elect to attend on these OPTIONAL final exam days, you must provide your own transportation.
Summer Information for 2016/17: Please look for an August mailing that includes OSTC information for the 2016/17 school year. Students will attend a mandatory meeting directly following 3rd hour on the 1st day of school in the CPA. At this meeting, we will discuss rules, requirements, transportation, and answer student questions about the technical campus. Students will not begin attending courses at OSTC until day 2 of the school year (Wednesday, Sept. 7th).
Final Exams
- It's better to study in small periods of time over several days than it is to try to cram for a final for a longer time in one sitting.
- Do any practice tests provided at the ends of chapters or units.
- Read or review your notes and then put those ideas into your own words.
- If you're using flash cards, make sure to change up the order in which you're looking at them.
- From time to time, change the location of where you're studying. Your brain will make some associations based on where you were when you were thinking about that topic or idea.
- Try to make some personal connection to the idea or concept that you're studying. Even if it's a silly one, it can help you remember the information at test time.
- Get plenty of rest and make sure to eat a good, healthy breakfast with lots of protein on test day.
Summer School
Information has been sent home about summer school for students who are in need of credit recovery. Make sure to check your child’s grades after school gets out to see if he or she has failed a class and would need a summer school course. Also, three courses can be taken for first time credit – Health, Psychology, and Sociology. Information regarding summer school registration can be found at this link.
