Our FACTS Family Portal is a private and secure parents’ portal that allows you to view your child’s grades and attendance records, pay tuition and incidental fees, and complete the annual re-enrollment process.
Access FACTS by going to https://factsmgt.com/ and create an account if you have not already. When doing so, you will need to know the Odyssey District Code which is OCS-NC.
If you have further questions regarding FACTS, our administration is available to help resolve questions or concerns. For assistance with FACTS, please call the Odyssey office at 828-259-3653 or email us at elesley@odysseycommunity.org.

Remind provides a safe way for teachers to text message students and stay in touch with parents. Teachers never see the students’ or parents’ phone number and likewise, the teacher’s phone number is never revealed to students or parents. Students and parents can use Remind with cell phones or by email. You should have already received an invitation.
