Two Upcoming Events


Greetings from "O Road"!  Following is some important information on two upcoming events:


Open House- Thursday, September 15 from 7:00-8:00 p.m.
Our teachers and I are looking forward to greeting you here at Open House tomorrow!  Teachers will hold two identical sessions from 7:00-7:30 p.m. and then again from 7:30-8:00 p.m..  This will allow those of you with two children in our school to attend a session with each teacher.  Here are some tips to make your Open House experience informative and enjoyable:
  • This Open House is for adults only.  Teachers have a good deal of information to share and while we love our students, their presence is distracting at this particular event.  For those of you new to us, please know that in the spring, we will hold another Open House that is open to the entire family!
  • Our side parking lot is for staff only.  Parking for parents is available along the outer circle, side streets such as Kent Place, Blueberry Lane, Beverly Drive, etc.   Also, overflow parking is available at the church located across the street. Please be careful not to park in fire lanes, spaces for the disabled, or on grassy areas in any of the above locations.
  • Please join us for our PTA meeting in the library at 6:15 p.m.  This is a great way to hear of the wonderful programs offered by our PTA. (As just one example of how PTA supports us, I have included a picture below of a student participant at our school-wide PTA sponsored assembly today entitled, "Fitness is Fun!")  Your membership and involvement in PTA is encouraged! 
  • If you have not yet signed up for SNN (School News Notifier) please stop in the library where Mrs. Rozniak will help you sign-up online.  It is simple, easy to use, and will provide you with alerts to school, closings, events, communications such as this blog, and more!
Race for Respect
The 13th Annual Race for Respect will be held at noon on Sunday, September 25 at the high school.  If you have not yet registered with us, be sure to register soon.  (Feel free to call us if you need another copy of the flyer we sent home.)  Your t-shirt(s) will be sent home once you are registered.  I hope to see many of our families at this wonderful community event!

With Best Wishes on this Beautiful Day,
Debbie Geiss,

Off and Running!

Welcome to my first blog!  We are off and running at Onondaga Road.  Children are adjusting to their new routines and we are looking forward to our Ice Cream Social on Monday, Sept. 12.  Our PTA has organized this yearly event which will feature community groups (e.g, our fire and police departments ).  And of course -lots of free ice cream will be on hand.  I am looking forward to seeing our new and returning families at this fun event held from 6:30-8:00.  In the meantime, enjoy this cute picture of one of our kindergartners - the joy on his face is contagious!
