Does your student have MINGA?

We use MINGA to track tardies and for students to have a digital ID. Students need to download the free app.

To help students develop strong attendance habits and minimize lost instructional time, the following consequences will be applied for excessive tardies:

  • 1st-3rd Tardy: Warning
  • 4th Tardy: Lunch Detention
  • 5th Tardy: Wednesday Detention
  • 6th Tardy: Saturday Detention
  • 7th Tardy: Administrative Action (Referral to Discipline Office)
We appreciate your partnership in ensuring students arrive to school and class on time each day. Any questions regarding tardies/MINGA please email Jose_Sanchez@scps.k12.fl.us.

Thank you.

Teachers of the Week

Congratulations to our Teachers of the Week, Ms. Griesemer and Ms. Segrest!

Their hard work and dedication were on full display this summer as they took the lead on coordinating parking for our students, faculty, and staff. They were incredibly responsive, worked tirelessly to address concerns, and successfully troubleshot countless issues along the way. Their commitment to making the process run smoothly helped ensure a successful start to the school year for everyone.
Thank you, Ms. Griesemer and Ms. Segrest, for your problem-solving skills, positive attitude, and willingness to go above and beyond for our school community. We are grateful for all you do and are proud to recognize you as our Teachers of the Week!

Employee of the Week

Congratulations to our Employee of the Week, Ms. Martha Hernandez!

Ms. Hernandez is truly a shining example of dedication, kindness, and servant leadership. Since joining Oviedo High School last year, she has consistently brought a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and caring spirit to everything she does. Recently, Martha went above and beyond for our School Counseling Department. In preparation for the first day of school, she took the initiative to remove the plastic coverings from offices, dust the spaces, and ensure everything was ready for staff members' return. She even plugged in office refrigerators so they would be cold and ready the next day. Her thoughtful attention to detail made a significant difference and helped ease the transition back to school for many team members. In addition to her daily responsibilities, Martha has also helped train new custodial staff, demonstrating both her expertise and her willingness to support others. Her selflessness, dependability, and genuine care for people do not go unnoticed.
Whether it's through a helping hand, a warm smile, or her commitment to excellence, Martha makes our school a better place every day. We are incredibly grateful for all she does and are proud to recognize her as our Employee of the Week!
Congratulations, Ms. Hernandez, and thank you for being such a treasured member of the Oviedo High School family!
