ESS Hiring Event 2/21/24
Congrats to Nurse Kellie on your new position at ATU - Ozark! We'll miss you!
Dear Ozark SD,
You may recall that we asked for your input about adjusting the school calendar to go to school rather than use some scheduled vacation days. There were over 700 responses and nearly 70% said that we should go to school. This could help us to finish the school year before we go very far into the month of June. After a unanimous vote last night by the Ozark Board of Directors, February 16th, February 19th, and March 15th will all become school days with regular attendance for students and staff. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns. An updated calendar is attached.
Thank you,
Zane Vanderpool - Superintendent
HPRD!

Due to dangerous travel conditions, the Ozark School District will be closed on Thursday, January 18th, 2024.
Although we saw lots of improvement today with higher temperatures and hard work from city, county, and state road crews, a majority of our roads and bus routes still remain too dangerous for safe travel and transportation of students.
Thank you to our OSD custodial, maintenance, and transportation employees who are preparing for our safe return to school - HPRD!
