A Message from your Assistant Principal
We hope this message finds each of you and your families safe and well. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, our thoughts are with all those affected and in areas where devastation occurred.
Thank you to all the families that were able to join us on Saturday, September 28th to clean up our campus for the safe return of all our teachers, students, and staff. Many asked for another clean up following Milton, however our campus was not safe to allow children and the community to come in and help. Rather, we were able to bring in some of our teachers and staff to help with the fallen debris. We carefully made piles and cleared the school to allow students to safely travel around campus.
We hope to have a cleanup in the near future where we can open up our doors to you all and help to clear out the last bit that is hanging around. We will keep you updated. We appreciate you all! Thank you for your dedication and partnership in making Citrus Park the best place to learn!

Every day Matters
Every day matters! Regardless of where your student is in their journey, attendance plays a crucial role in their success while they are in school and continues to impact them long after graduation.
Visit https://www.hillsboroughschools.org/attendance to understand why every school day is important and learn how you can support your child's success. Let's work together to ensure our kids have the best possible start!
Thank You!
Our Fundraiser has officially ended. We want to thank you for your endless support and contributions to our school. We appreciate your dedication even with two hurricanes that came our way. Thank you again!
Some parents and business partners always ask if they can make any monetary donations on behalf of their business or family. The answer is, yes! We will gladly accept any donations that come our way.
