Parents will be asked to provide feedback on Odle's School Improvement Plan on October 25. We need a great turn-out for this important evening which will begin at 6:30 in the Odle library. More information about this will be coming soon. If you can, arrive early --6pm-- for refreshments and some informal social time.
A very brief 15 minute PTSA general meeting will be part of the evening so that we can elect our nominating committee for the year. |

Thank you Principal McDowell
We thank Principal McDowell for staying late after school last week to make a presentation and answer parent questions at the PTSA meeting. Parents who attended learned about the new classroom management strategy piloted at Highland and now in place at Odle, about how the school will spend the $60,000 granted from Bellevue Schools Foundation to enhance our success program, and about plans for the school re-build.
