Onondaga Road update

Please remember to vote today!

Excuse our mess…

If you’ve visited Onondaga Road in the past couple of days, you have seen that we have a small construction project happening in our main entrance.  We are in the process of installing new windows in the vestibule as part of a school safety upgrade.  Once the windows are finished, guests will be able to interact with our office staff from the main doorway.  The interior doors are scheduled to be replaced this summer to complete that main door security upgrade.  Thank you to all of our families and guests for adhering to our safety protocols and for bringing your license/ID when you come in to our school.

Onondaga Road Update

New this year, PTA is sponsoring Cruisin’ Cones Ice Cream Truck.  If you would like to purchase ice cream, please do so after you tour the classrooms and school.  The ice cream truck will be out back by the playground.  School will be open from 6:30-7:30 p.m., and doors will be locked at 7:30 at the end of Open House.  Be sure to come inside first, and then enjoy your ice cream outside!  We have worked hard all year, and we can’t wait for you to come and see!

Raptor Visiting Management System - ID Required!
For the safety of all students and staff during school hours, Onondaga Road Elementary, and all schools in the district, will be implementing the Raptor Visiting Management System starting on Monday, April 22. All visitors will be expected to provide photo identification when they visit the building and plan to go beyond the main office. A letter will be distributed to all families this week which will provide pertinent information in regards to the system and safety protocols.  Please read the information carefully, and then feel free to call us with any questions. 

Positivity Project in Action
Our second graders recently wrote persuasive paragraphs.  In an effort to show what they have learned through the Positivity Project, students decided to put their creativity into action and write persuasively to Paul Valenti, the owner of Glazed and Confused.  Students tried to persuade Mr. Valenti to create a donut that represents positivity, and that we be the recipients of such a treat!  Well, it worked!  Mr. Valenti was impressed by our students' writing and creativity, so he captured the students' requests in donut form and donated the treats. Positively sweet!
