Welcome Back
​
I hope everyone had an enjoyable, relaxing, or adventurous winter break! We all needed some time away from the busy, daily schedules of school to spend quality time with friends and family. As we return, please help your students get organized for school and to make the transition back a little easier and more productive. Sleep and setting alarms is a start...and the hardest part after a break. Our staff also feels the adjustment and will support all of our students as well getting back into their routines. It is always fun and energizing for our community to come back together!!

As a district, we will be addressing our budget challenges the next couple of months and we're seeking community input and feedback. Superintendent Amii Thomspon will be hosting several small focus group conversations this next month. This Tuesday, Jan. 7th, we have a Commodore one scheduled on campus. Please sign up on this link to attend: Commodore Community Meeting on Tuesday, January 7th from 1-2 p.m. 

January will be full of information nights, program tours, and ending first semester strong for 7th-12th graders. We continue to plan for growth, enhance program offerings, and seek creative ways to support all of our students.

Thank you all for your support and commitment to COS K-12! Cheers to 2025!

Commodore Options K-12 News and Updates

  1. Odyssey K-6 Lunch Adjustments: We will be changing to K-2 students eating lunch together first to support peer relationships and supervision. Our 3rd-6th graders will continue with recess first, then lunch. We will continue to adjust to support a quieter lunch room, student support and supervised recesses. Thank you.
  2. A friendly reminder to our Odyssey 7/8 families...we follow the K-6 conference schedule this year, so our 7th-8th grade students will have regular classes Jan. 22-24th with K-6 students, but no school with K-6 for Feb. 12-14 conferences. This support our K-8 program and families. More info to come.
