Innovative Model ([email protected])

graphic depiction of OCPS LaunchED@Home

The Innovative OCPS [email protected] Model provides the opportunity for students to continue to learn at home while remaining registered at their enrolled school. This model is designed for families who don’t feel comfortable sending their children back to school but ultimately plan to rejoin their enrolled school in the future.

Based on the number of parents who choose this option, students will be placed in classes where all students are learning from home or a portion of the class is learning from home. In both environments, students will follow the standard school schedule and bell times.
