Students and staff will transition to LaunchED@Home for the next two weeks starting Thursday.

The Florida Department of Health says it traced most of the positive cases to events in the community. 

More than 200 quarantine letters have been sent out because of the outbreak. 

Face-to-face staff and students will return to campus on November 5th.

During the closure, the building will be cleaned and disinfected. Free coronavirus testing through DOH will be made available to affected families. 

All athletics and extracurricular activities have been cancelled with the exception of varsity football, as players and coaches tested negative during the last round of testing. 

No meals will be served at the high school, but parents and students can pick up free breakfasts and lunches at any OCPS school.

Pickup times are the following:


  • Elementary and K-8 Schools (3:30 pm – 5:00 pm)
  • Middle Schools (4:30 pm – 6:00 pm)
  • High Schools (2:50 pm – 4:20 pm)
