The Okaloosa County School District has been made aware of scam phone calls targeting parents. In these calls, individuals falsely claim that a student has an outstanding lunch balance and instructs the parent to "press 1" to make a payment immediately.
Please be advised:
• The Okaloosa County School District does not contact families by phone to request payment in this manner.
• Any legitimate communication regarding student meal accounts would come through official district channels.
• In the recently reported case, the scammer provided incorrect student information and used what appeared to be a local phone number, which may have been spoofed.
If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal or payment information. Instead, hang up and contact your child's school or the district's Food Services Department directly for verification. Thank you for helping us keep our families informed and protected.

Phones at all schools have been restored!
Good morning! Phones are down at some of our schools. We appreciate your patience as we work to fix the issue.
Our September calendar is here! Out of uniform days for students are scheduled on the 6th, 19th, and 25th of September, as long as their outfits aligns with our school's dress code.
Schedule Changes - Numerous factors are considered when scheduling students. To ensure all students receive the most appropriate placement, we rarely make schedule changes. The only reasons we change schedules are if you are missing a required core class, you have too few or too many classes, it is determined a support class is needed, you were enrolled in a course you have already taken/passed, or classes are being balanced which can happen throughout the year. Some student's schedules may change from the time of schedule pick-up on August 8th and Orientation on August 9th. On the first day of school, we will make sure all students get to their correct 1st period and a copy of their schedule will be given to them in 1st period so they can confirm their class order.
If you have daily or emergency medications that you would like to check into the clinic, staff will be available August 8th and 9th from 9 AM - 11 AM. They can also be checked in during school hours once school starts on August 12th.
7th Graders - We MUST have your student’s shot records by Friday!! In order to enter 7th grade, you MUST have the TDAP booster. We need a copy of your DH680/Code 8 immunizations are complete for 7th grade. Please bring it to the office BEFORE August 9th or you may not start school. Immunizations are available at your doctor's office or the the Okaloosa County Health Department. For Health Department hours call (850) 833-9240.
