Welcome to Onondaga Road for the 2016-17 school year!
You will be pleasantly amazed at our newly renovated
building! A lot of hard work has gone
into this project, and we’re ready to invite our children back to school. We have a beautiful new library, several newly
painted classrooms, new classroom cabinetry, a bright new main-entrance
hallway, new bathrooms in every classroom, and more to come…The next phase will
be the completion of our new cafeteria, so we are looking forward to that,
too.
Here are some important dates for your calendar as we get
this year started:
- Tuesday, September 6 – First day of school! This is a full day, 9:00-3:20.
- Thursday, September 8 – Curriculum / Meet the Teachers Night – 6:00-7:30 – Please see the flyer that comes home with your child on the first day of school explaining details for this Curriculum Night.
- Tuesday, September 12 – PTA Meeting in the library, 6:30
- Wednesday, September 28 – School Picture Day
- Thursday, September 29 – Half-day for students, 11:30 dismissal
Last year our school’s Shared Decision Making Team (SDMT),
in close collaboration with our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), sought input
from you, our Onondaga Road families, for feedback regarding many after school
events and enrichment activities for our students. Thank you for the feedback! We received over 100 responses to our
questionnaire, and we are using that information to help plan and guide our PTA
and school sponsored events. You will
notice on the school calendar several activities already in the works (Reading
Night, Scholastic Book Fair, Enrichment Day, Family Picnic, etc.). Our first PTA meeting will be a great time to
plan these events, but we can’t do it without YOU! Please consider attending our PTA meeting on
Tuesday, September 13 at 6:30 p.m. in our new library to learn more!
We look forward to seeing our smiling children on Tuesday,
September 6. Rest up – it’s going to be
a busy, productive year of learning and growing!
