Free Breakfast
Odyssey Charter School participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. This means breakfast and lunch are completely free for every student, every school day!
There are no forms to fill out, no money needed, and no worries. Your child can simply head to the cafeteria and enjoy a yummy, healthy, made-from-scratch meal to help fuel their bodies and their brains. Á la carte is available to any students who have funds available in their accounts. Prices range from $.50 to $2.50.
We love seeing smiling faces at breakfast and lunch—it truly makes a difference in our students’ day!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office or stop by and chat with us anytime.
Thank you for being such an important part of our school family! Any questions, please contact Cindy Chapman, Food Service Director at chapmanc@odysseycharterschool.com.
