Parent Satisfaction Survey
Our district is on a continuous journey to make our schools the best places for students to learn, staff to work and parents to send their children for a great education. In this effort, we appreciate your support. It is important to gather feedback from you to celebrate successes and identify areas for growth. Please take a few minutes and complete this Parent Satisfaction Survey to help provide this feedback.
Once the survey is complete, the results will be analyzed by an outside organization. The data from the survey will be returned to the District to be shared with each school, its parents and the community.
The survey can be accessed online at OCSD Parent Satisfaction Survey.
Our school may also provide you with a paper copy to complete.
The survey will be available through March 13, 2020.
Thank you for your interest in and support of your child’s education with us. Please contact your school if you have any questions concerning the survey.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION FOR 2020-2021
Parents of children who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2020, are asked to register their children for 2020-2021 kindergarten during the period of February 18-March 31. Florida law provides that any child who will be 5 on or before September 1st is eligible for kindergarten that school year. It is extremely important that new kindergarten students be registered during the February 18th- March 31st window for the fall (August) school opening. Classes will be formed, teachers assigned, and materials ordered on the basis of student enrollment. Click here for details about how to register your child.
Parent Workshops
Parent to Parent - Panhandle Florida is conducting three short workshops for parents. The workshops will be held in the Plew cafeteria beginning at 2:00. The workshops are:
- March 2 - "Digital World Safety and Responsibility"
- April 15 - "Keys to Success in Middle School" for 5th grade parents
- May 19 - "Preventing the Summer Slide"
Mental Health and Wellness Instruction
Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislators recently enacted two new legislative requirements regarding mental health and safety. The first rule requires public schools to provide instruction to students related to youth substance use and abuse health education. OCSD will meet this requirement through Red Ribbon Week activities focusing on age appropriate drug prevention lessons and activities. The second rule requires public schools to provide instruction related to child trafficking prevention and awareness. OCSD has chosen to continue to use Monique Burr Foundation for Children's Child/Teen Safety Matters Programs to meet this requirement. Click here for more information.

Early Check Outs
In an effort to facilitate early checkouts, please email or send in a note to your child’s teacher regarding an early checkout and the approximate time. This will allow the teacher to send your child with their book bag to their activity time if that is the time they will be checked out. No checkouts after 2:30 p.m.

Congratulations to these Star Staff:
Attendance Matters!
If children don't show up for school regularly, they miss out on fundamental reading and math skills and the chance to build a habit of good attendance that will carry them iinto college and careers. Preliminary data from a California study found that children who were chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of third grade. Find out more about why good attendance is important by clicking here.
