ORSD Family,

Welcome to the ORSD website! 

Our mission at ORSD is to have a safe, caring environment where everyone learns and grows in order to be prepared for life.  We know that in order for that to happen we must partner with you to ensure our students receive the training they need to live up to our mission.  Our hope is that our website will keep you informed to any changes throughout the year.  We hope that is a one stop shop for all things ORSD.  You can stay informed by downloading the ORSD App to your smart phone.  

Another goal is to continue to grow as a district.  By growth, we mean academically, numerically, mentally/emotionally, socially, and spiritually in helping one another find their purpose in preparing for life.  Having effective communication with you, the community, is essential to foster that growth. 

Please do not hesitate to let us know how we can communicate with you better as we move forward throughout the year. 

Respectfully,

Jerrall Strasner

Parents, Students, and Community Members,

This year's theme is “See, Everyone, Receive, Victory, Everyday.” The acronym SERVE will remind us of this worthwhile message. We are excited that you chose ORSD, and we want to thank you for choosing Ode Maddox Elementary, Oden High School, Acorn Elementary, and Acorn High School to educate your children.

A focus this school year will be to continue work with our parents, students, and community members that we refer to as “stakeholders.” We will use the “plan, do, check, act” model to consistently work on increasing our quality. Our goal will be to use feedback from people whose views are considered helpful and relevant with the intent to maintain strong engagement and a commitment to improvement. Our students and families are fortunate to live in a community where adults are committed to helping one another.

Please contact me anytime if you have questions about the Oden campus, Special Education, Busses, or Parent Involvement. You can reach me at home (870) 326-4872 or on my cell (479) 216- 2251.

Go Tigers! Go Wolves!

Respectfully,

William T. Edwards II
