Transportation Communication 22-23 School Year

Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back Odyssey Charter School Families! We are excited to kick off the 2022-2023 school year.

Please take the time to read through this document thoroughly and share it with other members of your family who may be a part of your child(ren)’s arrival and dismissal process. This is not a skim over on your phone document… all of your transportation hopes and dreams are embedded in this document.

Within this communication, you will find arrival and dismissal times, detailed information pertaining to each building’s carline procedures, and other important transportation information. All maps and bus schedules are online under the Transportation Tab.

For the first time in forever, OCS does not have a bus contractor and all routes will be run by our team of OCS drivers!

The OCS transportation department will continue to provide transportation for all field trips, sports runs, and extracurricular activities as scheduled. Our 5:00pm Activity Bus for students in grades 6th-12th will run throughout the year (Monday-Thursday) beginning on Monday, September 5th. Please see the schedule online under the Transportation Tab.

Please remember that the start of school is an exciting but hectic time for all members of our school community. Throughout the first month of school, we are still learning and improving upon all working systems including carline and bus routes. Please be patient and know that as each day goes by all members of our team and community will become more efficient with our arrival and dismissal procedures.

Please know that we are here for you and your family. It is our job and our mission to ensure your child gets to school and home safe everyday. Thank you for your continued support and know that the Odyssey Charter School Transportation Department is committed to providing safe, effective, efficient, and healthy transportation to all our students.
