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!

Road conditions in the Ozark School District today were much improved with increased temperatures and the hard work of our city, county, and state road departments. Determining safe conditions for student transportation, student drivers, faculty, and parents is a top priority. Although many of our main roads and paved highways are clear and dry, secondary roads and rural routes were a focus today (pictures this afternoon from across the district) and a main consideration for closing school Thursday, January 18th. Please use extra caution if you are out on the roads tonight and tomorrow. #HPRD
