From the Head of the School
Greetings, Odyssey Community,
At their July Board meeting, the State Board of Education (SBE) placed Odyssey on probation through June 2020. The Board and school leadership understand the importance of transparency and will communicate frequently over coming months regarding the process moving forward. We encourage you to attend upcoming town halls and committee meetings to participate in the conversations.
I had the opportunity to address the SBE at their meeting, and those remarks are shared in the attachment. In addition, OCS Board President Joe Wolcott spoke on behalf of the OCS Board, and his comments follow. Odyssey is committed to working in collaboration with DOE to successfully navigate the probationary period. Read More >>
Thank you for being #OCSStrong and for your ongoing support of Odyssey.
Yours in education,
Denise Parks
Head of School

Investing in the Future of a Superior Charter School
Dear Parents, Staff and Friends of Odyssey,
We are working very hard to expedite the Gymnasium and Building 23 expansion by the end of this year, so that:
- All our students utilize these facilities for their Athletic activities and Holiday events
- Retain our School’s Student Athletes
We need your immediate help:
If we raise $400,000 between now and June, we will receive another $400,000 from the Reserve Fund, which would allow us to begin construction of the Gymnasium immediately!
Help us achieve this goal by visiting our website and making a contribution to the school’s Major Gifts Initiative! Read More
