We are so proud of Able Carpenter for showing adaptability. He was nominated by Mrs. Dix because he demonstrated kindness and adaptability when a new student joined his 3rd-grade class. Without hesitation, he stood up in the gym, invited the student to sit with him, and offered to show him to class. Able’s willingness to adjust and take initiative made the new student feel welcome and supported—a great example of flexibility and empathy in action!

We are so proud of Kylie Maxwell for showing adaptability. She was nominated by Mrs. Ellis because in the cafeteria, Kylie noticed some trash on the floor that someone else had dropped. She stopped, picked the trash up, and threw it away. Several students had already walked by the trash and ignored it, but Kylie adapted to the situation and picked the trash up.

Next week on October 15th we will be participating in a law enforcement drill. This is a yearly occurrence where law enforcement comes in and helps us practice our lock down procedures. It's important that students know what to do if there was a lock down but if any parents/guardians would like to opt their student out, they may call the office or send a message to your classroom teacher in rooms before the 15th.

Good afternoon. This is just a friendly reminder that all students currently in Kindergarten, 6th grade, and 9th grade must have a physical for 2025 and all immunizations must be up to date by October 15th of this year.

All 12th grade students must have their second dose of the meningococcal conjugate by October 15th of this year.

If these things have not been completed, I need either a religious exemption form filled out by the primary care provider or proof that the appointment has been made. I will be reaching out to parents as I can for those missing their physicals/immunizations.

*These documents must be accounted for by October 15th or the student could be excluded from school.*

Please feel free to call me at the school (618-740-4183) or email me (tneu@odinpublicschools.org) if you have any questions in regards to this matter.

Thank you for all your patience as I continue learning in my role.
