November happenings


November brings us to the beginning of the second marking quarter for the 2014-15 school year.   Report cards will be distributed to our students on Friday, November 14.  Please take some time to celebrate successes and to set goals as you move into the second quarter.  Students should be well into their study and reading routines, and as always, we encourage you to check your child’s backpack every day to partake in their daily school activities.

Congratulations to our fourth and fifth grade students who represented Onondaga Road at this year’s annual Spelling Bee.  These students work hard each and every day, and we are proud that they were able to represent our school:

  • Sean Cipro
  • Jon McDonald
  • Colin O’Donnell
  • Derek  Sweeney
  • Caleb Williams




Each year as the holiday season approaches, our school community participates in a variety of Caring and Compassion Projects.  These are community service types of projects that allow our students to take part in giving back to various organizations in our local community.  Last year we participated in the Wounded Warrior Project as well as making ongoing donations to the local chapter of the Salvation Army.  Once again, we will join together to show caring and compassion to others in our community.  Watch for flyers to come home with your children about ways you can help!


WG  If you ordered any apparel from our PTA’s School Spirit Wear, you can pick them up in the main lobby of Onondaga Road School on Thursday, November 20, from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
