Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning
December 19th, 2018
Happy Holidays!
Welcome Message
What an exciting month for Odyssey! The RASD Board approved the Odyssey contract and Parent/Student Handbook so we are officially a public school in Wisconsin. Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning will be listed as an open enrollment option with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). We can begin spreading the word about this exciting educational option for families. Parents of Odyssey students will enjoy a high degree of parental control while receiving a high level of teacher support and financial resources.
