In order to meet required attendance hours we will extend our calendar to make up for time missed due to inclement weather. Currently, assuming no more time is missed, the following adjustments will be made:
If more hours are missed, adjustments will be made and communicated accordingly.
As part of the requirements of “Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act” (RSMo 160.077) the Odessa R-VII School District is taking the necessary steps to ensure safe drinking water for everyone within the buildings. District personnel identified drinking water outlets throughout the district and utilized the services of Axiom Service Professionals to conduct testing of each outlet. Those results, once received back from the lab, will be made available to the public on the school website.
Additional information about the effects of lead can be found at: https://health.mo.gov/living/environment/lead/publications.php
Results - January 2024
Remediation Plan
Any samples that resulted in readings greater than the required 5 ppb level will be corrected and retested. Some sinks were not in areas in which there was an expectation of them being drinking water, they have been labeled as such, “not drinking water”. Others, which are areas that will be used for drinking water, are being addressed and will be retested. Further results will be posted here upon their return to the District.
The Odessa R-VII School District will be holding a Kindergarten Round-up at McQuerry Elementary the week of April 8th through April 12th, 2024. The screenings/pre-enrollment will be held between the hours 8:30 am and 2:30 pm.
