Ozark Tiger E-News

We are EXCITED to announce that bus information is now in your Parent Portal!

• On the left side of your Parent Portal, scroll down and click on “Transportation Info.”
• If viewing from your phone, make sure you are in a web browser NOT the app and that you turn your phone horizontal
• 'To': refers to going to school, 'from': refers to leaving school (the departure time in this line is when the bus will arrive back at your bus stop)
• Please keep in mind the times on your portal are estimates
• During the first week of school, buses will be running behind schedule
• If you have questions or concerns, please call the Transportation Department at (417) 582-4735

Did you know we have six School Resource Officers who are fully commissioned with the Christian County Sheriff's Office? Combined, our school police has more than 170 years of public safety service.

Learn more about our School Police here.

Did you know we have an anonymous tip line? Tips can be submitted by parents, students and community members. Tip line reports are taken very seriously and every single one is looked into. You can use the tip line directly through our website or through our app.
