WEEKLY NEWS HIGHLIGHTING OUR STUDENTS & STAFF
Welcome back to school! Our first two days were full of smiles, new friendships and experiences.
I firmly believe students don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. That is why our focus centers on relationships.
Every child has a story to tell. It’s our job as teachers and staff to find out what that story is and help students write their next chapter.
Thank you for trusting Ozark School District with your child, and I hope you have a great year.
I’d like to get your feedback on our Meet the Teacher and Open House events. Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out this survey and let us know what worked and how we can improve.
