Happy First Day of School! Reminder: Today is a 2:15 dismissal day. K-12 will be dismissed at 2:15. Pre-K will be dismissed following the Meet and Greet in their Pre-K classrooms.
I am so excited to see all the smiling faces returning to school tomorrow!! I just wanted to put out one final reminder about prescription medication. If a student needs prescription medication during the school day, I will need an order form for that specific medication that is filled out by the prescribing physician, signed by that physician and the parent/guardian. I also need the prescription pill bottle with the exact dosage, route, and administration instructions that matches the order form. I will not, legally, be able to administer the medication without those things. Hope you all have a pleasant evening and get plenty of rest for tomorrow.
Pre-K Staff Update
We wanted to share a quick update with our Pre-K families regarding our classroom teachers.
Some families recently received a letter naming Ms. Amber as their child’s teacher. Ms. Amber will be continuing her education and will now be serving as a Pre-K paraprofessional. We are so happy that she will continue to be part of our Pre-K classroom and our school family!
Ms. Tanisha will continue teaching her Pre-K class as planned. If your child’s letter named Ms. Tanisha as their teacher, there is no change for your child.
We are excited to welcome Ms. Mary Roy as our new Pre-K teacher! Ms. Mary brings 31 years of experience in education, including 10 years teaching preschool. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a current Illinois Professional Educator License. She also has extensive experience supporting children’s social-emotional development and creating positive, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
Ms. Mary has shared that while she has loved teaching many grade levels, her heart belongs to preschool, and we are so excited to have her join our Pre-K team!
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Mary to our Pre-K family! We are excited about the wonderful year ahead and feel very fortunate to have such an experienced team working with our youngest learners.

We are grateful for Loren’s 26 years of dedication to Odin Public School. Loren has been a steadfast employee and a valued member of the Odin family for many years. We will miss his interactions with students, his quiet support of every child, and the incredible example he set for our community.
Loren drove the bus, swept the floors, and took out the trash, but those are not the things we will remember him for most. What we will remember is how he made students feel, the smile that greeted them each day as they arrived at school, and the genuine care he showed day in and day out, never asking for much in return.
This kind of loyalty, humility, and dedication is something our society needs more of. For that, we sincerely thank you, Loren, for everything you have done for Odin Public School. We wish you all the best in your well earned retirement.
