Dear Odyssey Elementary School & ALLIES Families,

On Friday, at approximately 1:45 p.m., our law enforcement partners at the CSPD told OES and ALLIES administrators, as well as D49 safety and security about an active investigation in a nearby neighborhood of the school. Following the guidance from CSPD, and out of an abundance of caution, administrators immediately initiated a lockout.

Please see leadership updates page for more details.

Our office number is 719-494-8850.  School hours for the front office are 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Our secretary, Sandi Esparsen, is happy to assist you.
