Ozark East Named Gold Star School
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education named Ozark East Elementary School one of eight Missouri Gold Star Schools for 2025.
Help us congratulate our East staff and students for this tremendous achievement!
Attendance Matters!
Ozark School District is committed to creating a positive and productive learning environment for all students and faculty. We strive to promote safety, respect and responsibility. We want you aware of our behavior expectations and the importance of attendance, even at the elementary school level.

Did you know all of our elementary schools have their own Facebook and Instagram pages? There are so many cool things happening inside our buildings everyday! See fun projects students are working on, find out about specific events coming up, and get connected!
Science Lab
From examining a turtle shell with a magnifying glass to building a contraption to keep an egg safe when traveling down a ramp, you never know what you're going to see in the science lab at one of our elementary schools. As part of Related Arts, our elementary students attend science class weekly where they participate in hands-on activities and engaging lessons.
Academic & Behavior Interventionists
Each Ozark elementary school has an academic interventionist and a behavior interventionist with a combined goal to help equip students for success. The role of the behavior interventionist is to help students with emotional regulation, coping skills and executive functioning skills. Academic interventionists help identify students who may be struggling academically.

Students had a great time celebrating and honoring our veterans across the District for Veterans Day. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to attend one (or many) of our assemblies or even talk to students about what it means to be a veteran. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has served!

Ozark South Elementary second-grader Sterling Saylor and his mom, Katie, sit down at the classroom table with their paper plates, shaped like an apple and a pencil, full of bacon and fresh fruit. They start coloring a bookmark together, laughing and taking pictures with other students. Katie said eating breakfast with her son and his friends was the perfect way to start her Friday.
