OGT Results

Well today has been the day many of you have been waiting for. The official results for the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT), that were given back in October, have finally arrived. I have met with several students already throughout the day. There have been some pleasant results and there have been some results that didn't work out the way you wanted. Overall, Vantage Career Center had 75% of their students who need to pass the OGT for graduation, pass. If you are one of the juniors who have not passed a section of the OGT yet, please begin studying right now for the spring testing. We will once again be giving the OGT tests starting March 16th thru the 20th. I would suggest that during your Advantage periods, you work on the portion of the test that you need to pass. If you have Science to pass, then make an appointment with Mr. Joyce, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Drerup or Mrs. Thomas. Do the same thing for any section that you need passed. If it is math that you need passed, contact your math instructor. If it is Social Studies, then contact those teachers. You get the idea. They will work with you. We have study island to work on, we can copy old tests off of the Ohio Department of Education website and we have links on our website. Please let the instructors know that you want to meet with them and between the two of you, you should be able to come up with a time. All the instructors are here by 8:00 am and they can stay until 3:40 if you need them to.

For those of you that have passed, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know that it is a big relief knowing that you are finally done with the OGT's. I appreciate your hard work and the time that you put in to studying and practicing. I hope that you will continue to work hard not only in your classes but also on your upcoming final exams. As I mentioned above, if you need help, you just have to ask. I truly mean that. Talk to any of your teachers and they will help you or they will help you with additional resources.

And as I always say, if there is anything that I can do, please come down and see me. We can talk about the resource room, additional help, on-line resources, your study habits and study skills. You are always welcome. Thanks and have a great day.
