OCPS families,
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during Hurricane Ian. We hope you and your family remained safe.
Now that the storm has passed, our maintenance teams continue to address power outages with our electrical providers.
Unfortunately, after consultation with Orange County officials schools will NOT reopen Monday, October 3 due to safety concerns and continued power outages at a number of our schools. Our plan is to reopen schools and resume normal operations Tuesday, October 4.
All student activities will resume sometime next week. Athletic competitions will be determined at the schools’ discretion.
Our focus has been on evaluating our facilities and returning students to school next week. A decision on make-up days will be forthcoming.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we return to school next week. We continue to be tested as a community, and I am confident in our resiliency and ability to collaborate and support one another. We look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Superintendent Maria Vazquez

Dear Dragon Families
We hope you are all safe. Our prayers and thoughts go to all of those affected by Hurricane Ian, especially in our community. We know this week is going to be challenging for so many people, but they are not alone! It's being a blessing seeing the communities getting together to help each other.
District 1 Fall Festival
We haven't heard about the community Fall Festival on October 8th yet. Many streets in the Vista Lakes area are still flooded. As soon we have an update we will let you know.
