Oviedo High School Safety Implementation
Oviedo High School to ImplementAdditional Safety and Security Enhancements for 2026-2027 School Year
-
As part of Seminole County Public Schools’continued commitment to school safety and campus security, Oviedo High School will implement safety enhancements ahead of the 2026-2027 school year that you will need to be aware of. The gate on King Street will be closed during the instructional day from 7:40 am – 2:00 pm and from 7:40 am – 1:00 pm on early-release Wednesdays, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year This change helps to better manage campus access and reinforce perimeter security during school hours. Students, families, and visitors will continue to access the campus through the main campus entrance located on Pine Street. These updates are designed to strengthen campus access procedures, improve visitor management, and support a safe and secure learning environment for students, staff, and visitors.
Additional information regarding traffic flow, visitor access, and campus procedures will be shared with families and the community prior to the start of the school year
As always, we appreciate the Oviedo community's partnership and support as these important improvements are implemented.

Annual Maintenance Flush of Drinking Water -The City of Oviedo will perform the annual maintenance flush of the City's drinking water distribution system from June 4, 2026, through June 25, 2026. During this period, the City's drinking water distribution system will use a "free" chlorine residual instead of the usual "chloramine" disinfectant.
As part of the maintenance flush, residents may notice increased system flushing activity. Some residents may notice a slight chlorine taste and/or chlorine odor in the water. Fish owners and individuals undergoing dialysis need to take necessary precautions during the system's chlorine flush. If anyone has questions, they can contact the Public Works Department Utilities Division at 407-9715675
from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. We want to thank our residents for their cooperation during this chlorine flushing period (June 4 - 25)
Due to the growing demand on the FloridaAquifer system, the City of Oviedo has taken steps to conserve water through programs that educate the public on water conservation strategies, water restrictions, and the use of reclaimed water for irrigation. The process of water conservation reduces demand on the FloridaAquifer system, thereby preventing a decline in freshwater levels.
Conservation Inside and Outside
There are many steps that residents or business owners can take to help in water conservation:
Step 1: Check for leaky pipes or fixtures inside and outside the residence or business. The slow drip from a pipe, faucet, toilet, etc. can lead to thousands of gallons lost per year. Fixing leaks and replacing old plumbing fixtures with water-saving devices could save a residential family of four (4) about 30,000 gallons of water each year.
Step 2: Replace fixtures with water-saving devices Awater conservation device saves water, energy, and, most importantly, money for the resident or business owner.
Step 3: Check the irrigation schedule shown in the water restrictions section below for the optimal time.
Watering Restrictions
These restrictions apply to all municipal water users, including all City of Oviedo alternative, surface, and potable water users.The City recommends reclaimed water use be limited to no more than two (2) days a week. Water use is restricted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Door Alarms Door Alarms
The Oviedo Fire Department has door and window alarms available to give away, courtesy of the Wesley Seth Foundation.
As kids get out of school and spend more time at home or areas near water, we want to make sure caregivers are aware of the program to keep kids safe!
These alarms will activate if a door or window is opened, making it easy for a child to slip out and fall into the water. Fill out this form, and the Fire Department will contact you about how you can pick it up: Interest Form
June 8, 2026, marked the 24th anniversary of the tragic loss of Oviedo Firefighter Shane Kelly (Badge #56). We continue to remember the life of Shane Kelly and the professionalism, dedication, and compassion he displayed while rendering aid at the scene of a serious traffic crash. We also remember Dr. Donald Diebel Jr., who also lost his life assisting Shane with administering patient care. That tragic day will always be etched in our memory, and we must continue to honor both Firefighter Shane Kelly and Dr. Donald Diebel Jr for their selfless service.
As we continue to experience retirements and change in personnel, I ask that we continue to remember and honor Firefighter Kelly and let us all never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made on June 8, 2002.
Feathered Friend Rescue
Oviedo Police officers are always saving lives, be it human, fourlegged or feathered. On May 31, nightshift Officers Logan Smith and Luke Nakamura went out to the Riverside Subdivision off Twin River Blvd and Shadow Pine Court where they found an injured Ahinga at the edge of the pond. Officer Smith was able to net the bird and both officers discovered it had fishing line bound around its legs and wings. The officers immediately went into action to start to cut away the fishing line to free it. They were a bit worried it would not make it through, but it quickly got away, dove under water, then poked its head back up to let them know it was okay and probably say a birdie "thank you!" before swimming off. This body cam video shows the entire ordeal (it's a bit long, but certainly worth the watch, especially at the end when they set it free). In case you're wondering, they named the bird Guy.
Reckless driving of these devices, such as impeding traffic, weaving in and out of traffic, and driving the wrong way, can lead to serious injury or death, which is something we want everyone to avoid.
Please talk to your kids about how to safely operate them, wearing helmets, safety equipment and knowing the law The Police Department has created a web page dedicated to providing information to review:
CRIME SAFETY SERVICES. Click on the tab that says EMOBILITY SAFETYAND LAWS.
If you see anyone operating these devices unsafely, please contact the Oviedo Police Department at 407971-5700 and speak directly with a dispatcher. Please provide your location and describe what you are seeing. If possible, please provide the direction of travel.
