Information for Tiger Families

Dear Tiger Families,

2025October24 It is almost the end of October and we are well into the swing of learning in our classrooms. The Odessa Student Achievement Plan was shared at School Council last week. A summarized version of the school goals for the 2025-26 academic year are included below.

We are excited to be using Knowledgehook in all of our classrooms from Grades 1 to 6. Knowledgehook is a Canadian educational technology company that provides an online math learning tool for students, teachers, and parents. It offers interactive, curriculum-aligned questions and assessments, such as live "GameShows" and self-paced "Missions," designed to help students practice math and give teachers insights into student thinking and areas of need. The platform aims to support student learning by giving teachers data for instructional guidance and providing students with engaging, game-like math activities. As a parent, you can connect to your child’s account and be part of supporting that learning. By now, you should have received information about how to connect to your child's account from their classroom teacher(s). Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have not received this information. This week we are holding a contest at the school. On Friday, the class with the most families attached to their child's Knowledgehook account will win a Pizza Party. Make sure you get connected Tiger Families!

The Lost and Found will now be on display in the front hallway of the school. We are hoping that families will stop in regularly to look for their child's missing belongings. Please encourage your children to check the Lost and Found. We have already gathered lots of sweatshirts. We are hoping that the new location of the Lost and Found will make it more visible to students and families.

As always, please reach out to us if you have questions or need support.

Take care,

Krista Esford, Principal
