News & Events
We want to share some additional information about AMI usage. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) recently provided additional guidance which allows schools to use a maximum of six days for AMI. By utilizing these AMI days, we help minimize the need to make up days throughout the school year and meet the state’s required instructional hours.
We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new Fort Osage Food Truck! Thanks to special funding designated for enhancing our food service programming, we've been able to invest in state-of-the-art equipment upgrades. This will enable us to:
- Reach more students
- Expand our feeding programs
- Provide real-world learning opportunities
But this food truck is more than just meals on wheels. It’s an opportunity to better serve our students and families, while offering hands-on experiences that allow students to learn and grow.
Stay tuned for exciting updates!
If you would like to provide a High Five to a staff member at Fort Osage, please complete the form below and we will pass it along.
