Beagles and bloodhounds! 🐕🦮A fun visit today by K-9 units from Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Corrections. We learned about tracking, detecting, searching, and training.
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.
STEMM will have an early dismissal on the last day of school, Thursday, May 29. Students will dismiss at 12:55.
