📣 4th Quarter = Let’s Finish Strong!
As we begin the 4th quarter, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on attendance. Every single day in school matters for student learning, relationships, and future success.
📊 Did you know?
A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of the school year—that’s just 2 days per month. Under Ohio law, all absences count (excused and unexcused).
🎯 STRIVE FOR 5 — Every Day Counts!
Students should miss no more than 5 days all year, if possible.
💡 How families can help:
✔️ Make daily attendance a priority
✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the day if your child is absent
✔️ Send a written note, email, or doctor’s slip when your child returns — NOTES are REQUIRED
✔️ If your family is planning a vacation during the school year, it must be approved by the building principal at least 1 week in advance
✔️ Reach out if challenges arise — we are here to help and support your family
📚 When students are here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together to make this final quarter our strongest yet!

On Thursday our Ag Mech skills team competed in the state contest. The contest had electrical, hydraulic, tool id, welding, and other hands on skills. Moving on from district to compete with other teams from all over Ohio was good for our students. After the contest we were able tour Ventrac to see the landscape power unit construction site.

The chick quest begins! Ag Business students have 100 broiler chicks that they will be monitoring health and growth with for the next several weeks. The goal is to hit market weight (4.5 pound dressed) within a 6-8 week period. Students will then process the birds and make available to the public.

Our HVAC students aren’t just learning the skills needed for one of the most in-demand careers in the country — they are building the future of the program as well. 🔧
Students are currently working on constructing a new classroom space that will be used by future HVAC classes. It’s a great example of hands-on learning where our students are gaining real-world experience while leaving their mark on the OVCTC for years to come.
Come see the work they are doing and learn more about all of our programs at the CTC Open House this Thursday from 4:30–7:30 PM.

Students in our Zoology class are diving deep into anatomy by dissecting rats. This hands-on lab allows students to explore organ systems, understand biological structures, and make real-world connections to animal science, veterinary careers, and biological research.
Experiences like this help our students move beyond textbooks and truly understand how living systems work. Learning by doing is what CTC education is all about!
