Please find the details below. We are proud of our parents, students and our diverse Orlando Science Community!
Parents, if you have some gently used books, please consider them donating to school. Our FTC team Motherboard Maniacs is running a book drive to help OCPS students. Entire drive will be donated to A Gift for Teaching!
Our Science Olympiad Teams are competing at the MIT Invitational this weekend. I wish the team best of luck at this Nation’s very prestigious invitational tournament. Good luck, Orcas. I know you can do it!
Our award ceremonies are set for next week. Invitation emails were sent out. We are excited to celebrate your student’s hard work and achievements together. 7th graders will be on Jan 28th and 8th graders will be on Jan 30th.

30/30 DISMISSAL RULE
What is Delayed Dismissal? 30/30 Rule?
The “30/30 Rule" is a Delayed Dismissal Weather procedure that is nationally recognized. It is required that the “30/30 Rule” be enacted by the school if thunder is heard within 30 seconds of a lightning strike. Orlando Science Middle/High follows this rule.
When 30/30 Rule is implemented, students will not be dismissed until 30 minutes has passed from the last sound of thunder. However, parents/guardians who wish to pick up their child/children during delayed dismissal, will be allowed to sign out their child/children at the cafeteria or front office.
In order to pick up your student(s) from the cafeteria or front office during this procedure, parents/guardians must bring their dismissal sign to the front door of the school to sign their child/children out. If you do not have a dismissal sign, you will need to provide a picture ID and be on the school pick-up list to pick-up the child/children. Bus riders will be delivered home when conditions are all safe for dismissal.
An automated telephone and/or email message will be used to notify parents/guardians about delayed dismissals. Always be sure to update the school when your phone or email information changes. Thank you for your cooperation on our students’ safety.
