Board Game Club meets once a month! Due to limited space, students must be signed up each month in order to attend.

A sign-up link for the upcoming meeting will be sent to parents via email. If you sign up but are no longer able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the spot to the next student on the waitlist.

Thank you for helping us make sure everyone has an opportunity to participate!

We’re kicking off an exciting new project in 6th grade, and we’d love your help! 💙💛 If you have any of the books on our donation list that are ready for a new home, we would be thrilled to give them a second life in our classroom. Every book helps us grow our collection and spark a love of reading in our students!

📖 Book donations can be dropped off at the front office in Building 4.

Help us spread holiday cheer to Odyssey families in need! We are collecting new toys, books, games, and gifts for children of all ages.

A Special Need for Teens! Gifts for older children and teenagers are often in short supply. Donations for this age group are especially needed and greatly appreciated!

Let's make the holidays brighter for every age!

Students can log in to Google Meet to join their teachers during Office Hours for extra help, clarification, or just to ask questions. Every teacher hosts Office Hours Monday through Thursday. Office Hour times and Google Meet codes are posted at the top of each teacher’s course in Moodle.

Students can also find flyers in both their classrooms and the Lab listing the Office Hours and Google Meet codes for all of their grade-level teachers. Don’t hesitate to reach out — we are here to help!

LAB is available for students who need extra time to catch up on assignments or would like additional help with their Moodle coursework. Students may attend any morning or afternoon LAB session, as long as they choose a day that is different from their regularly scheduled class day.

To reserve a spot in LAB, visit the Odyssey School website, hover over the Middle School heading, and click on Middle School Lab Sign Up. Or you can bookmark this link on your web browser: https://odysseyk12.jotform.com/252195573414055

We encourage students to take advantage of LAB whenever they need extra support or time to get caught up!
