We have started our first annual iReady Challenge. It will go from November 18-January 13th. Every child on campus can get on iReady at school and/or at home. Our goal is to increase the completion rates and celebrate the 100%. We are counting both Reading and Math. This week a shout out to Mrs. Valenzuela’s third grade class and Mrs. Sherrod’s first grade class. They both will get a Plory Prize for the classes for almost 90+– 100% for the week. Way to go!! We will do random shout-outs and check-ins.

On January 13th, the first place class will have a pizza party and the second place class will have a donut party….. So excited to see the results and “YES” scholars can login over the breaks. We will celebrate and post information each week about how things are going and how our scholars are doing.

We are hosting a Science Showcase on Wednesday, December 3 from 12:30 to 3:00pm. It is a come and go event. The 3rd to 5th grade scholars will share what they have created with our scholars in the gym. I have attached the flyer for it and the Winter Carnival coming up at OI High School on December 5th from 4:00-8:00pm.

The Winter Concerts for the 3rd to 5th Graders is December 11th from 6:00-7:00pm and the K-2 Winter Concert is December 12th from 6:00-7:00pm. Seating will be limited.

See you soon!

Remember some field trips only allow a limited number of spots. The chaperones will be selected when the teachers send out the information---Look for the email from them to sign-up. Other field trips are public venues. If we have a need for more support, if you apply in advance and get approval from the grade level teachers and get our badge, you may be allowed to attend. This cannot happen on the day of the trip--- If you show up with nothing, you cannot go with the school

Dear K-12 Parents,
We kindly ask for your support in filling out the following Google Form regarding income eligibility if it applies to your household. (Link: Income/Hardship Eligibility Form) This is the least intrusive method permitted by the state of Arizona for collecting this important data.

Completing this form will enable us to qualify for the E-rate program, which provides discounts to schools for costly telecommunications and internet access, therefore optimizing funds available for the classroom. This support is crucial for enhancing our technological resources and ensuring all scholars have access to the digital tools they need for success.

The collection of this data will also allow our high school scholars to qualify for free or reduced testing fees such as ACT and IB tests, which can be very costly.

Moreover, the information collected will help us make informed decisions about our community’s needs and apply for various grants we are currently not eligible for because we have not collected this data previously. Your participation is vital in allowing us to secure resources that benefit our entire school community.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Best regards,
Odyssey Administration
