Happy Snowy Days!



Looks like winter is upon us in full force! This is a good time for us to emphasize the importance of school bus safety.  We had one of our many annual bus safety drills as students arrived at school this morning.  In addition to the safety drills we conduct at school, it is important for you to help reinforce your child's responsibilities while riding the bus.  And remember as you drive near and around school buses, always stop and wait for a bus with flashing red lights!  






Be Respectful
 - Greet your driver and friends.
 - Listen to and follow the driver's directions.
 - Use a level 2 talking voice.
Be Responsible
 - Sit in your assigned seat.
 - Watch for your stop.
 - Take all of your belongings when you leave.
Be Safe
 - Stay seated while the bus is moving.
 - Keep your hands, feet, and backpack out of the aisle.
 - Leave snacks and drinks in your backpack.

A Season of Giving and Gratitude
I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel, thanks to your generosity.  Thank you for the outpouring of support, as we have three community service projects underway from Onondaga Road.  Your caring and kindness help to teach our children that they are important members of a greater community.

Join us!
Tonight is our November PTA meeting, 6:30 in our library.  We will talk about our community service projects and the many up and coming events planned for our students.  All are welcome!  There is no PTA meeting scheduled for the month of December.
