Keeping students and faculty safe is important to everything we do at Ozark R-6 School District

Here is a checklist of measures in place to keep kids and faculty safe:

  • Every school is required to have a visitor check-in procedure that includes identification badges for guests. Schools limit access to the degree their facility allows.
  •            
  • All schools have comprehensive emergency management plans that include communication procedures, evacuation and in-place sheltering plans, relocation sites, floor plans, emergency equipment operating procedures and a variety of specific staff responsibilities for various types of emergency events.
  •            
  • Every school has an intercom system, weather alert radio, and two-way radios for communicating with emergency service responders from the school district.
  •            
  • All schools have counselors and access to nursing services.
  •            
  • Schools practice various drills for different situations.
  •            
  • Playground and facilities are regularly inspected for hazards.
  •            
  • School police officers regularly visit the school and are available for immediate dispatch in the case of an emergency.
  •            
  • Schools are equipped with various first aid and emergency supplies.
