Drop-Off/Pick-Up Process
Odyssey Charter School relies solely upon parents to drop-off and pick-up their children from school each day. Every family at Odyssey Charter School is assigned a carpool number. Odyssey Charter School will give 2 “family” cards to each family at the time of enrollment. The family cards will have your last name and an assigned number on them. You may purchase additional carpool cards at the front desk for $5.00 per card.
Family cards are placed on the passenger side visor of each vehicle that will be dropping off or picking up students at Odyssey. Please make sure your card is visible anytime you are in our carpool lanes. We have hundreds of children to be picked up each day and we have developed a system that is both safe and efficient, but it requires your support and patience.
*If you are wanting to carpool with another family, please contact the front office at office@odysseycharter.net and we will issue you a separate yellow “carpool” card to display on your rear view mirror. This will be a different number that will include every student in your carpool.
Drop-off Process
To safely and efficiently drop off the children in the morning, please do the following:
- Students may be dropped off after 8:15 A.M. If possible, please keep students in the car until the doors open.
- Before pulling into a drop-off zone, please ensure that the children are ready to exit your vehicle (coats on, backpacks in hand, and kisses planted).
- Please pull forward as far as you can before dropping off students.
- Please drop off the students only in the drop-off zones (not on the street).
- After dropping off students, please use the exit lane to depart watching for cars coming from both directions.
Pick-up Process
To safely and efficiently pick-up the children after school, please do the following:
- Please have your passenger visor down with your family card visible when approaching your carpool zone. If you are participating in a carpool, please have your carpool card hanging on your rear view mirror.
- When you pull up to the school, pull into any of the 3 lanes and please pull as close as possible to the car in front of you. Place your car in park. When the whistle is blown and the STOP sign is in the air, please be alert and not on your cell phone. Do not move your car or get out while students are loading vehicles.
- While you are waiting in your car for your turn to come in the loading zone, an Odyssey employee will walk down the line and type in the number displayed on your card. This number goes directly to your student’s classroom notifying them you have arrived and are waiting outside.
- When the whistle is blown and the sign changes to SLOW, please move forward carefully out into the street watching for cars coming from both directions.
- During the pick-up process, please do not ask the teachers for a status report on your student.
