Orange County Public Schools invites all families, employees and community members to participate in the School Start Times Survey to help the district decide whether to change school start times for high schools and elementary schools. Your participation is important because it ensures all our families’ voices are heard in this process.
Florida Statute mandates that school districts set middle and high school start times later in the morning, unless the district can provide a report including how their students, employees, families and community members feel about the change.
Research stresses the importance of middle and high school students getting enough sleep, and moving high school start times to later in the morning may help. Under the proposed change, elementary schools would start earlier than middle schools and high schools.
Please take a moment to answer the questions to this survey.

Principal’s Message
Welcome to our school community! I am incredibly honored to serve as your principal and to work alongside such dedicated students, passionate educators, and supportive families.
Our vision is simple yet powerful: to cultivate a positive school culture and climate where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. We firmly believe that a nurturing and encouraging environment is the foundation for outstanding student achievement and success.
This isn't a journey we embark on alone. Our success is deeply rooted in the strong partnerships we build. Teachers, parents, and the wider community are integral to everything we do. We are committed to fostering open communication and active participation from all stakeholders, ensuring everyone has a voice in shaping our school's future.
At the heart of our philosophy is collaboration. We believe that by working together – sharing ideas, supporting one another, and pooling our collective strengths – we can create an exceptional learning experience for every child. Whether it's in the classroom, at school events, or through ongoing dialogue, collaboration is truly at the center of all our efforts.
Thank you for being a vital part of our school community. I look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and shared achievements.
Warmly,
Principal Aponte
