Onondaga Road February update


Kindergarten Registration

If you or someone you know has a child who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, it is time to get registered for school!  Registration will be a little different this year, as all families will register at the West Genesee District Office.  You can register your child any time, but preferably between February 1 and March 4, 2016.  The process starts by making an appointment.  You can visit this website or call this number to make an appointment:
    


    or call 487-4683

PTA News

Thanks go out to our PTA for coordinating another successful Enrichment Day for our students.  Fun was had by all!  We look forward to many more programs and activities, but we cannot do it without your help.  Please consider attending a PTA meeting, or getting involved as a volunteer in another way.  Our next PTA meeting will be on Wednesday, February 24 at 6:30 PM in our library.  In March, we have a new meeting date added to the calendar, Wednesday, March 9 at 6:30.  Please join us to learn how you can participate in a variety of ways!


New Science Fair Coordinator Needed

Thanks to Greg Couture for coordinating our past three Fairs, but as his children move on, we will be looking for other parents to step up and take over.  If you are interested in getting involved, moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, we need you!  Maybe you’d like to work with a partner or two, or maybe you have some ideas to share, or maybe you’d like to come shadow our current coordinator to see what it entails.  Please send a note with your child, or call the main office if you have any interest in helping out.  We will get you all the information you need!  This year’s Science Fair will be on Thursday, March 3 at 6:00 PM.

Grade 5 News

It’s time to start planning our year-end activities!  If you are a grade 5 parent and would like to join in the festivities, please plan to attend a meeting immediately following our PTA meeting on Wednesday, February 24 at 7:15 in the library.

Construction Update
If you have been to school lately, then you have surely have seen some changes!  We have eliminated some trees in the courtyard to make room for our new library.  We have also moved some classrooms and teachers to make way for the next phase of construction.  We witnessed the back-hoe digging out some tree stumps and roots yesterday and leveling some land in the courtyard which will become the library floor.  Very exciting stuff!
