Taking Care Of Business Days (TCB) Coming Soon: What you need to know!
TCB - Taking Care of Business:
- These are for everyone and are different from Registration (see below).
- Bring your checkbook.
- TCB dates have been designed to ensure a manageable flow of parents. Based on your constraints, you may attend any TCB session even if it's not your grade, but if you are a 6th grader's parent in particular, we want to alert you that specific information will be provided for you on the 6th grade TCB day which will not be available on the other days.
- If you absolutely cannot attend TCB, there will be make-up days for photos and fees can be paid in the main office the first week of school or online at the Odle website once you know your child's schedule.
- Make sure to read the Parent Homework section below to be totally ready for TCB.
- Schedules are handed out again to all students the first day of school.
Registration:
Most students have already registered for classes in the Spring. For students who did not register because you are new to the area or any other reason, you can check the Odle website for registration times. Registration and TCB are two different things even though they are on the same days. Students who need to register should come to do TCB and must also attend one of the registration sessions.
Special Information for 6th Grade Parents:
In addition to attending your TCB day on August 26th, there are two other important things that happen on August 26th. (Everything is on the same day for 6th grade this year to make it easier for working parents.)
- Where Everyone Belongs or WEB 8am-11:30 (For students only, this is a fun orientation to Odle led by Odle 8th graders.)
- Parent Orientation 8:15-10:30 am library (After dropping your student for WEB, please join us PTSA and the principals in the library for Starbucks Coffee, treats and a presentation to learn about Odle.)
- Following the orientation, proceed to TCB at 11:00am.
- Parents who want to skip the orientation may begin TCB at 9:30.
- If you finish TCB before your child is done with WEB, you may leave and come back. There will be a bit of a crunch for photos since the students all get out at the same time. If lines get too long, parents may choose to come back on August 28th or have their child attend the make-up day during school. The school has scheduled two photographers this day to keep things moving.

2012-2013 PTSA School Directory Updates
Dear Returning Families,
Your Odle PTSA will be distributing a NEW school directory sometime in the fall to each family, teacher, and staff member. The directory will include the students' names, addresses, phone numbers, grades and teachers, as well as their parents' names. This is not for the school's records.
Updating information here will not update the school's records. You don't need to give the PTA any information you don't want published.
Please review the 2012-13 Odle Student Directory for your family's personal information listed for ALL children returning to Odle.
If you need to make changes to your personal information in the School Directory (e-mail addresses being critical), please review & submit those changes to bev_mitchell@me.com. This can save you time at TCB days.
Thanks so much for your cooperation and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Odle PTSA at odleptsa@hotmail.com

Parent "Ambassadors" Needed for TCB
Please email odelptsa@hotmail.com as soon as possible if you are able to help out at a station during one of the TCB shifts (see above). We especially need friendly parents during our 6th grade day to help our new families feel welcome and to help TCB go smoothly for them. Both of our front office staff are new just in the last two weeks, so they will need all the help we can provide from PTSA this year. Email us with your shift preference and we will contact you to confirm. Thanks in advance for your help!! If you absolutely can't help in person, we are also looking for volunteers to drop off goodies for the PTSA station so that it is as inviting as possible.
