Information for Families


Dear Tiger Families,

It was another productive week of learning at Odessa. Students are all settled into their classes and teachers are busy

2025September3collecting math and literacy data on students. This data will help us to make informed decisions about instructional programming in classrooms and additional supports for students.

The construction on North Street and at Ernestown Secondary School continues. It is our hope that this construction will be finished by the middle of October. In the meantime, our students are doing an excellent job managing the walk to the primary yard from the buses. It has been wonderful to see our older students in this leadership role helping our new students.

There are a few staffing changes as a result of the reorganization and the loss of a classroom at Odessa. Ms. Semark has been assigned to a Grade 4/5 classroom at The Prince Charles School and Mme. Barkley will be moving to a Kindergarten Immersion classroom at James R Henderson Public School. Mme. Morrow will be coming to Odessa to take on the Core French and Planning Time position that was held by Mme Barkley. We wish them all the best in their new roles and look forward to getting to know Mme. Morrow.

Families wishing to purchase Odessa Tigers Spirit wear can order throughout the year using the link to the eStore below.

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

Take care,

Krista Esford, Principal
