The church lot across from the school, who have been an amazing partner with West Orange for years are asking parents to please park in a parking spot when dropping off or picking your student. They are trying to streamline the process to make it easier for everyone.
Additionally, if your student parks there, please ensure they have a parking pass as they will be towing cars that do not have one.

Parents,
Did you know that you can view your student assignments, homework, events, and calendars? In Canvas, parents are observers of their student’s school lives. They have easy access to view the calendar, assignments, grades/feedback for work completed in Canvas. Access to Canvas is through the Parent LaunchPad Portal.
LaunchPad Parent Portal accounts are created based on parent/guardian data shared when registration for a child is completed in OCPS. Please wait 24 hours after registration to setup your LaunchPad Parent Portal account.
Orange County Public Schools recognizes the importance of family involvement in their student's education. Please complete the form below if you are experiencing issues with registering for an OCPS Parent Portal account or are having an issue with an OCPS Parent Portal app (i.e. Skyward Family Access, Canvas Parent, TalkingPoints).
Access the form here.
If you are new to OCPS or need any help or support with accessing Skyward, please click here to visit the OCPS Skyward site for user guides and help videos. Skyward is the OCPS student information system and both students and parents should have a log in.
