OCS Attendance Week, January 26-30

Finally, help OCS celebrate our first-ever Attendance Week! 

Led by our Student Engagement and Support Services team, Orange County Schools will showcase a different theme each day January 26-30, 2026, to shine a light on why attendance matters and everything our students can achieve by being in school ready to learn, each and every day. #BeHereToGetThere! #OCSAttendanceWeek
 

Our goal is for every student to graduate with options in enrollment, enlistment, and employment.

We look forward to celebrating with you and working together to support your student toward reaching their goals—now and in the future!
