End of the Year

END OF THE YEAR INFORMATION AND UPDATE

Our last day of school will be a half day on Thursday, June 12th. 

Graduation will be at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 13th in the SBM Charitable Foundation Auditorium at Manchester Community College.  You must have a ticket to attend.

Construction will begin on our last construction phase on Monday, June 16th.  This phase includes a new entrance, vestibule, main office, nursing suite and staff lounge.  The project is expected to take two months.  Because the entire front of the building will be replaced, there will not be a front entrance during much of the summer.   When the visitor’s entrance is completed, we will put a notice on the web site.  Until then, there will be no ability to just “stop by” without making advance arrangements.

During the summer, office staff and administrators will be available by phone on Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

The first day of school for the 2014 – 2015 school year will be Tuesday, September 2nd.  We think you will be very excited about the improved appearance of the front entrance and will be looking forward to hosting an open house!

Meet Glaiza

Meet Glaiza from Odyssey’s fourth grade.  Glaiza’s family comes from the Philippines, so when the typhoon hit, she became very concerned about helping people who were touched by the disaster.  Glaiza talked to her family and members of her school community and then began a collection.  Thanks to this wonderful girl, we were able to send nearly $600 to the American Red Cross for typhoon relief!  



Late Students

A Message from Mr. Bugbee:

We are having issues with several students being chronically late for school. Beginning now, any middle school student who is late for school more than ten times during a trimester will receive a lunch detention for every day they are late. Students will start fresh in each new trimester.

URGENT FOR PARENTS

It has come to our attention that there is a website called Ask.fm, where people can post anonymously to anyone and say whatever they want.  This website and its content have become an issue in our school.

We are strongly encouraging parents to not allow their child onto this site.

Morning Drop Off

Morning Drop Off

This is a reminder that students need to be in their classes and ready by 8:01 am. Teachers are on duty in the back parking lot until 8:00. If students walk in with those teachers, they are unable to be ready by 8:01. Thus, those students will be walked to the office and will be marked tardy.

Library Volunteers Needed

We need help setting up our new library. Help is needed covering paperback books and cleaning some older editions of hardcover books. Come on in and see Mrs. Clancy any time during the school day any Tuesday through Thursday.  We will appreciate all the help we can get.

Thanks!

Late Arrival to School

All Odyssey classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m., at which time the rear student entrance door is locked.  Students are considered late to school if they are not in class ready with their materials by 8:01 am. It is very helpful if students arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the school day so they can put away their coats and back packs prior to the opening of the school day.  The back student entrance is open from 7:30-8:00.

If you are unavoidably delayed, please walk your child into the front entrance and sign him or her in.  Please do not simply drop your child off at the front of the building.  Thank you for your cooperation!
