Student Data Collection Notice
Odyssey Charter School participates in the Utah Student Data Privacy Alliance (USPA). The USPA is a collection of Utah schools and districts that share common concerns around student privacy. The goal of the USPA is to set standards of both practice and expectations around student privacy so all parties involved have a common understanding of expectations. Please click the link below to see the vendors with which we share student information.
Students who register for an extra curricular program may only be permitted on campus during after-school hours. Siblings and carpool “buddies” WILL NOT be allowed in the school. Please make the necessary arrangements for your student and carpool.
Please, be sure that your student is picked up from their extra curricular program promptly. Students cannot be left unattended once after-school programs have been dismissed. It is each parents responsibility to ensure that their student is picked up on time.
Please ensure that your student is picked up promptly at the conclusion of their after-school extracurricular activities. Once programs have ended, students may not remain on campus unsupervised.
It is each parent’s responsibility to arrange timely transportation. Any student who remains on campus after 4:15 p.m. (2:45 p.m. on Wednesdays) and whose parent or guardian cannot be reached—or is unable to arrive within a reasonable timeframe—may be referred to local authorities for their safety.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping all students safe.
Odyssey teachers, staff, and parents are dedicated to the creation of a “Safe School.” In accordance with state and federal regulations, OCS has established a “Safe Schools Policy.”

“It is the policy of the Odyssey Charter School to promote a safe and orderly educational environment for all students and employees. Accordingly, OCS holds all students, employees, and other adults to the highest standards of behavior on Odyssey Charter School grounds and during school-sponsored activities. Criminal acts or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated and any individual who engages in such activity will be subject to disciplinary action, prosecution, or both” (Odyssey Charter Safe Schools Procedures).
Objective: Odyssey Charter School’s students, staff, parents and visitors should be able to experience an environment that is safe and conducive to learning and free from disruption and/or hostility.

The codes are references to state and federal regulations for school” (Odyssey Charter Safe Schools Procedures).
