🎒 Back to School in Our Community! 🍎✨

The summer flew by, and a brand-new school year is officially here! On behalf of the Auburndale Chamber of Commerce, we want to wish all of our local students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff a safe, inspiring, and fun-filled year ahead.

As our community gets back into the morning routine, we ask all local drivers and commuters to help keep our kids safe:

🚌 Watch for School Buses: Stop when red lights are flashing and the stop-arm is extended—no exceptions.

🚶 Keep an Eye on Crosswalks: Slow down in school zones and expect more pedestrians and bicyclists during peak morning and afternoon hours.

⏰ Plan Ahead: Leave a few minutes early to account for extra school zone traffic and bus stops along your route.

Our local businesses are proud to support our schools and families as we kick off another great year together. Let’s make it the best one yet! 📚💛

Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, Florida’s Second Chance Act will require an EKG screening for students participating in high school sports for the first time. These events provide the necessary screening to help meet that requirement.

These events are open to all students, regardless of sports participation.
