School Start Time Survey

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.

Parenting Tip: Monitor Screen Time & Online Interactions

Technology is a powerful tool for learning—but balance and safety matter. Take a few minutes each day to check the websites your child visits and who they interact with online.
Ask questions like:
“What games or apps are you using today?”
“Who are you chatting with?”

Set clear limits for screen time and encourage breaks for reading, outdoor play, or family activities. Staying involved helps protect your child and teaches healthy digital habits.
Together, we can ensure our Wildcats are safe, balanced, and ready to learn—both online and offline! 💙💛
