  1. I will read Odyssey Charter School’s mission, philosophy, and curriculum. I commit to support OCS in the pursuit of fulfilling this mission.

  3. I understand my child will be required to wear an Odyssey approved school uniform. If accepted to OCS, I will ensure my child is in daily compliance with the school uniform policy.
  4. I understand OCS does not provide transportation to and from school and I will be required to provide such transportation.
  5. I understand, pursuant to federal law, OCS strives for 95% attendance. I will commit to minimize my child’s tardies and absences.

I will follow the OCS communication model; specifically, I will take any concerns I have directly to the person most able to successfully address those concerns and will work in a cooperative manner to promote the school mission.
