Dear Audubon Park School K-8 Families,

Orange County Public Schools invites all students in grades 4-12 and all families with a student in grades K-12 to participate in the 2022-23 annual stakeholder survey.

The family survey window is January 17 – March 10, 2023.

Families can access the anonymous link to complete the survey at bit.ly/ocpsfamily

The family survey is available in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Arabic and Portuguese and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Field Day is coming! It is going to be on Friday, March 10th.

This year we are bringing the parents back! PE needs your help! If you are able to assist with one of the stations or decorations, please sign up of APS’s Field Day Station Volunteer Sign Up. If you are a Station Volunteer you will have to remain at your station during the 9 Station rotation, however, you will still be able to watch your child during the Tug of War Challenge. PE can really use the help in order to make the event run efficiently and smoothly.

To assist with stations, you must be an Additions Volunteer. The link to become an Additions Volunteer HERE.

Please sign up to help PE's Field Day HERE.

Come join us for an adults only night out throwing it back to the 90s. Our totally awesome Falcon Fling tickets are on sale now via the Handbid site or app. Tickets include admission, drinks and food for $95. You can also sponsor a table or purchase a teacher ticket by visiting www.tinyurl.com/GrooveTix.
