HURRICANE INFORMATION 

Ocala Christian Academy will follow the lead of the Marion County Public Schools in regards to school closings. If it is announced on radio or television that all public schools in Marion County are closed, we will be closed as well. (This will include day care, athletics, and all other aspects of our operations.) If the public schools are in operation, then we will be as well.

Should school begin and the public schools decide to close early, OCA will continue to operate until all children have been picked up. If the public schools close early, we encourage you to come pick up your children as soon as possible.
