OCS Remote Learning Day #4 Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Facilities Closed

Thursday, January 29, 2026 will be the fourth Remote Learning Day for Orange County Schools.

This is school day #4 with students learning at home, and schools and facilities will remain closed.

• Our Transportation team is visually checking roads morning and evening. We can confirm that many important routes in our county are still unsafe for travel, with temperatures expected to remain below freezing until Thursday afternoon.
• Our Operations team is also busy preparing campuses to reopen safely, and we are thankful for our collaboration with state and local authorities who help us evaluate conditions for safety in Orange County and beyond.
• Students and staff in all grade levels (K-12) will continue in remote learning on Thursday.
• A decision has not been made about school on Friday, and the district will make that announcement as early as possible on Thursday.
