Family And Community Engagement

This site has been created to link families with needed existing local resources.

The OCPS Parent Academy is a free family engagement program designed to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to support their child's academic success and overall well-being. Through engaging workshops, interactive events, and community partnerships, families have opportunities to learn about topics such as student achievement, parenting strategies, college and career readiness, mental health and wellness, digital safety, and navigating the school system. Whether offered in person or virtually, Parent Academy sessions are designed to strengthen the partnership between home and school, helping families feel informed, connected, and confident as they support their child's educational journey.

The OCPS Parent Portal is a secure online platform that gives parents and guardians convenient access to important information about their child's education in one central location. Through the Parent Portal, families can view grades, attendance, assignments, test scores, schedules, report cards, and school announcements. Parents can also update contact information, complete required forms, monitor academic progress, and access additional district resources and applications. By staying connected through the Parent Portal, families can actively partner with their child's school, communicate more effectively with teachers, and support student success throughout the school year.
