For the 2021-22 Osceola County School District year, parents will have two learning options for their students: face-to-face learning or virtual school.
The district will no longer be offering digital learning.
Superintendent Debra Pace put out a message on the district’s Facebook page.
It reads: “Thank you for your continued support as education here at home and across the nation has continued to look different in light of the COVID pandemic since March 2020. As the Osceola County School Board and I remain very optimistic in regard to what school will look like for the 2021-2022 school year, I wanted to share important information with you now for planning purposes. Starting this upcoming August, parents will have two options for their students for next school year. The first option will be face-to-face, in-person learning at their home-zoned school or school of choice. The second option for those students who would like to learn virtually will be to enroll in Osceola Virtual School (OVS). OVS is currently accepting applications for the 2021-2022 school year at www.osceolaschools.net/ovss through July 16, 2021. Please note that for next school year we will no longer offer the option of digital learning in conjunction with your child’s school. While we are anxiously looking forward, we are also committed to finishing out the last quarter of the school year strong. I will continue to monitor any new developments to ensure our current plans, and those for next school year, protect the health and safety of our students and staff. I encourage you and your family members to take advantage of the free COVID vaccines so that we can add another layer of protection in our community.
Thank you again for your continued support as we provide every child, every chance, every day.” #SDOCGoodtoGreat
