THURSDAY, AUG. 8

• Freshman Orientation will be broken into four one hour sessions. Your student is asked to attend just ONE of those sessions based on the first letter of their last name. 
  • 9 am - 10 am: Last Names A-E
  • 10 am - 11 am:  Last Names F-L
  • 11 am - 12 pm: Last Names M-R
  • 1 pm - 2 pm: Last Names S-Z
     
• Drop off your student at the Ozark Innovation Center (1600 W Jackson St) at the south entrance near the storm shelter (behind the building) 15 minutes before their scheduled session. 
   
• Please pick up your student in Parking Lot A at Ozark High School's main building (1350 W Bluff Dr.) at the designated time. 
   
• While this event is not required for freshmen, it is highly encouraged.  Your student will receive their student ID (which they are required to wear everyday at school) as well as their schedule. So we believe it will be very beneficial for them to be in attendance.   
   
• For freshmen who cannot attend the orientation, IDs will also be available for pick up at Meet the Teacher night on August 15.
