Coronavirus Information For Parents and Students
Ensuring the health and safety of our students and staff is a top priority for the Osceola County School Board. The district continues to be in regular communication with Osceola County Emergency Management and the Florida Department of Health about the coronavirus, and is following their guidance. At this time, there have been no cases of coronavirus identified in Florida.
Parents and students are asked to take some common-sense precautions that apply to many infectious diseases, like the flu. The most important are having students stay home from school if they are sick, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and washing your hands frequently with soap and water. For additional information, visit the Florida Department of Health’s website at http://www.floridahealth.gov or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at https://www.cdc.gov/.

Carpool Reminder
Parents,
Please remember that students may not be dropped off in the morning in the front office before 8:00 a.m. This will be strictly enforced going forward. Also, please do not let your students get out of your car while you are waiting in the car line to run through traffic. This is a very big safety risk. It takes approximately 10 minutes to get through the morning car line. Please plan your time accordingly. If you are late (arrive after 8:00 a.m) a student must be escorted to the front office by an adult. Thank you!
For operational questions please contact Ms. Spedding
