Greetings from Onondaga Road!


Today is Wildcat Wellness Day
Hopefully you have been able to participate in some of the Virtual Wellness Week activities provided by the West Genesee Mental Health Team this week. Today is Wildcat Wellness Day! Students are encouraged to take a break from academics, and a break from the screen, and try a few of the activities on this 
Well-being Board. I'm going to try some of these things, too! 

  
Get Your Digital Public Library Card
Here is some news from our public libraries that you might find interesting!
Public libraries are currently working on a curb-side pickup system for library books, scheduled to be available toward the end of May.  What a great outing for families!  Our district librarians have shared this Google Slides Library Presentation on how students can get their own digital library card for the public libraries! I know a lot of our students utilize the public libraries, so I hope this will help you to get some new books soon.  You can also find this "how to" link in the library section of our Online Learning Portal.
  

Student Belongings
All families, be on the lookout for a letter in the mail from school.  Within the next week or so, you will receive specific information about getting into the school to retrieve students' belongings that may have been left at school.  In this letter, you will find specific dates, times, and instructions for health and safety.  While we know how important it is for you to get your belongings,  we will work together, as an Onondaga Road School community, to follow all health and safety guidelines carefully.


Schedule Reminder
We scheduled to have next Friday, May 22nd off, and then we have the following Monday off for Memorial Day.  Students will only receive four days of instruction for the next two weeks. Don't forget to go to the West Genesee Online Learning Portal to access PE, library, P2 and counseling activities, as well as enrichment activities for both music and art. Also, please don't forget to have your child complete the weekly PE Exit Ticket.
  

You will be happy to hear that we are almost ready to share with you a special plan for an end-of-year fifth grade celebration parade!  Families of fifth graders, be on the lookout for a special letter in the mail with details, coming soon.

Be well, and enjoy your weekend!
