Congratulations, Reed! We are so proud of you!
Tatum Dotts
Tatum's favorite thing about Odyssey Online Learning is the teachers. They are very nice, always ensure she understands something, and explain lessons well. When not completing her schoolwork, she likes gymnastics, playing volleyball, arts and crafts, and baking.
"Tatum attends every live lesson. She always participates in the class activity and discussion during the live lesson. Tatum is completing all of her work and has outstanding grades. Tatum is not afraid to ask questions or for guidance when she is struggling with an assignment. She is all around a model student who exemplifies how to be successful with Odyssey Online Learning."
"Tatum is a kind, respectful, and dedicated student. She attends class regularly and participates in all class activities. Tatum completes work in a timely manner, follows directions, and asks questions when she needs clarification or support. I love having Tatum in class because she is an all-around great student and a very nice person!"
Congratulations, Tatum! We are so proud of you!
Christian Estrada
Christian's favorite thing about Odyssey Online Learning is that he can work at his own pace, and his teachers are all very helpful when he has questions or needs assistance with work. When not completing his schoolwork, he likes to practice and play soccer. Learning new skills and challenging himself in the sport is his favorite part of the sport. He has been playing soccer since he was four years old.
"Christian participates in class and asks for help when needed. He is determined to do well in Algebra 2 and demonstrates excellence in his schoolwork. Way to go, Christian!"
Congratulations, Christian! We are so proud of you!
Elin Payne
Elin's favorite thing about Odyssey Online Learning is that she can work at her own pace and only has one more semester to graduate. When not completing her schoolwork, she likes to read. She also enjoys playing video games, coloring, drawing, and writing. She is currently writing two books and has ideas for more.
"Elin is consistently present in my precalculus course and actively answering questions on the microphone. She recently traveled to Minnesota to visit family but made time to attend my course while she was gone. She is outgoing and willing to ask meaningful questions regarding our subject. Elin has never complained about any tasks I have given in class and has been extremely patient with me as I figure out everything during my first few weeks of teaching virtually."
"Elin is a well-rounded student. She communicates with her Student Engagement Specialist. She also asks questions about her classes. She seems very concerned with her school assignments, is on pace, and is making great grades."
Congratulations, Elin! We are so proud of you!
