Welcome back
after a week of winter recess! I hope
you all made time to have some fun and to relax a bit!
Positivity Project
For the next two weeks, we will be studying the character strength of “Social Intelligence.” This can be defined as “being aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings and having an understanding of why they do things.” As we teach different strengths, I try to send home the character card with the definition each week, so I hope you find this to be a helpful resource at home. Hopefully you are able to engage in a conversation with your child about what he/she is learning.

School Safety and Communications with the Superintendent
As you know, Dr. Brown has been communicating about school security and safety. You can feel free to call him with questions at 1-315-487-4562, email cbrown@westgenesee.org or ask him in person at a special board meeting scheduled for this Wednesday, February 28th, in the High School Library at 7:00 PM.
Also, please
remember that if you are changing your child’s dismissal routine on any given
day, you need to send a note to school with your child. Our school door will open at 3:10 for anyone picking
up children, and you can report directly to the cafeteria at that time to sign
your child out.
During the day, each visitor must push
the call button at the main entrance. You will be asked to state the nature of
your visit to school prior to gaining entry.
If you have any
questions directly related to Onondaga Road, please feel free to call me any
time.
Have a great
week –
Jeannette Clark
