What is Delayed Dismissal? 30/30 Rule?
The “30/30 Rule" is a Delayed Dismissal Weather procedure that is nationally recognized. It is required that the “30/30 Rule” be enacted by the school if thunder is heard within 30 seconds of a lightning strike. Orlando Science Middle/High follows this rule.
When 30/30 Rule is implemented, students will not be dismissed until 30 minutes has passed from the last sound of thunder. However, parents/guardians who wish to pick up their child/children during delayed dismissal, will be allowed to sign out their child/children at the cafeteria or front office.
In order to pick up your student(s) from the cafeteria or front office during this procedure, parents/guardians must bring their dismissal sign to the front door of the school to sign their child/children out. If you do not have a dismissal sign, you will need to provide a picture ID and be on the school pick-up list to pick-up the child/children. Bus riders will be delivered home when conditions are all safe for dismissal.
An automated telephone and/or email message will be used to notify parents/guardians about delayed dismissals. Always be sure to update the school when your phone or email information changes. Thank you for your cooperation on our students’ safety.
If you are interested in aftercare for the 2024-2025 school year, please fill out the forms below.
Forms can be emailed to Mr. Myler at stephen.myler@orlandoscience.org or handed in to the front office during orientation or first week of school.
Parents and Guardians,
Please click below to pay the annual student and technology fees for the upcoming school year.
Each student will be provided with a school issued Chromebook for use both on and off-campus, empowering them with 24/7 access to valuable educational resources and tools. The Chromebooks will serve as a powerful learning tool, promoting creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills among our students. To cover the cost of these items and ensure a seamless distribution process, an annual student fee of $25, plus a technology insurance fee of $50, is required for each student.
What's Included:
- Chromebook: A Chromebook will be assigned to your child, allowing them to complete assignments, access digital textbooks, engage in online research, and work collaboratively with their peers.
- Student Locker: Each student will receive a locker to store their belongings, ensuring a safe and organized environment throughout the school day.
- Student ID: The student ID will provide access to various school resources and facilities, as well as serve as identification during school events.
- PikMyKid Access: This valuable tool will be used for digital hall passes, dismissal announcements, and important messages.
- Chromebook Damage Insurance Policy: This policy will cover accidental damage to the Chromebook, such as spills, drops, and other unforeseen incidents. With the insurance, you can rest assured that any necessary repairs or replacements will be covered, minimizing any potential financial burden.
We highly encourage families to complete the payment at their earliest convenience to ensure a smooth distribution process and allow students to begin utilizing their Chromebooks and lockers from the first day of school.
Thank you for your continuous support, and we look forward to an extraordinary academic year ahead!

MONTHLY/BIRTHDAY DRESS DOWN DAYS
See the important message below regarding FortifyFlorida:
Any student, educator, parent or member of the public can report school safety concerns directly to law enforcement and school administrators anonymously and easily through the FortifyFL app or www.getfortifyfl.com. The Florida Legislature directed this tool’s development in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act.
The app, which is available for download on Apple and Android mobile devices, is critical to ensuring all Florida schools are safe environments where students and educators can experience and share the joy of learning without fear.
We hope that you will become familiar with this tool and help us spread the word about it with your students and their families. Please note that the official app’s logo will look exactly as it does in the graphic above.
