| ODLE MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM NIGHT
Mark your calendar-Thursday, September 25th, 2008, 6:45 p.m.
You are invited to attend Odle Middle School's annual Curriculum Night on Thursday, Sept. 25th at 6:45 p.m.
We are having an exciting and productive year, and we hope to share the excellence of Odle Middle School with you on this important night. The staff has planned a full evening so that you can get a true flavor of our school, your student's daily schedule, and some of our regular routines. The Viking Hut will be open at 6:45 PM to sell healthy snacks and refreshments. Our Head Cook, Donna Anderson, has also been kind enough to provide samples of Odle's lunches for you to see.
This will be a great opportunity for you to become well informed regarding curriculum and classroom course expectations, therefore allowing you to support your student in continuing the year in a positive and successful manner.
There will be a general introduction at 6:45 PM in the MUR. Classroom visits will begin at 7:00 PM and will end at 8:45 PM.
More information will be coming home with your student next week.
