After-School Programming
NEW
After School Activities this Year!
Along
with our favorites from last year, we are excited to include a couple of new
after school activities this year for clusters 345 and 678. Information will be
sent out shortly on when and how to sign up for each activity. (Registration
for 345 LEGO Robotics is now open. Please follow this link to register).
FALL
AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY ROSTER:
K12
Spanish (Tuesdays,
2:15-3:15) - Taught through the Portland Early Learning Project, students will
start speaking in phrases from the very first class using "puzzle
piece" sentences, role-play, and more! Our instructors create an
environment that fosters a natural process to using language.
K12
LEGO (Mondays,
2:15-3:45) - Everything is Awesome! We are bringing back the ever popular LEGOs
class. Through Play-Well TEKnologies kids will explore concepts in physics,
architecture, mechanical and structural engineering. (An email will be sent out
next week to register).
345 LEGO Robotics (Mondays, 2:15-3:45) -
Continue the LEGO journey with LEGO Robotics put on by Engineering for Kids.
This class is designed to introduce students to both robot building as
well as programming. (Register here).
678
Yoga (Thursdays
2:30-3:45) - We are incredibly lucky to have Yoga Playgrounds with us this
year! Each class has a customized theme where your young adults will begin to
learn the physical and mental benefits of regular yoga practice. They are given
the tools to manage their behaviors to find calm, balance and less stress in
their lives. (An email will be sent out next week to register).
If
you have any questions please feel free to email me (borrevikfamily@gmail.com).
I know there are so many amazing activities out there that we would love to
bring to Odyssey for our kiddos, so please feel free to reach out with
suggestions. Also keep in mind that we have a very limited window to
schedule these activities with rehearsal schedules and field studies.
Thanks!

Expense
Reimbursement Requests from PTA
Hello
Odyssey Community,
For
the 2019-20 school year, we will begin using an online system for requesting
expense reimbursements from the PTA. Next time you need to be repaid, simply
click this link to fill out the online form and attach
your receipt(s) -- no more paper that needs to be dropped in the Odyssey office
mailbox!
In
addition to reducing our paper usage, we expect this will be a smooth and
efficient process for making payments and managing documentation.
Please
contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Odyssey Carpool InfoHow does it work? The linked map has markers for each household that is interested
in carpooling. Look at the map to find markers close to you. If you click on a marker it
will then give you the available information about that family. It is up to you to reach out
to people you might want to carpool with.
Link to Carpool WebsiteIt's time to update the Odyssey carpooling map! If you're new and want to be added, it’s
easy! Here’s how to do it:
1. Click on the “Additions” tab in the upper left hand bar of the map. A drop-down list appears
2. Select “Add Marker – Detailed” and a window for entering your family’s information appears.
3. Under the Location tab, enter your child’s last name and home address that you are looking to
carpool to/from.
4. Under the Details tab you can add more specific information about when you can provide rides
and when you need rides.
a. IMPORTANT: You must add either an email address or phone number if you want
anyone to contact you.
b. It helps to add a parent first name, and put an X in the box to indicate which cluster your
child(ren) is in.
5. The “Preview” button lets you see how it will look to other people
6. When it looks good, hit the “Submit” button to send it to the map Admin for approval. Do save
the URL provided so you change your own entry in the future.
If your family is already on the map, check your info and make any needed changes. If
you notice a family that has left Odyssey is still on the map, contact the map coordinator
to have that entry removed.
