COVID Testing

Thank you to everyone that signed up to have your child tested this Friday. The available slots at Onondaga Road filled up very quickly, including both students and staff.  Mrs. Nason, Mrs. Rotunno, and I will be present at the testing. Here is a short video from CNY Central showing  the actual testing process. If you have any questions regarding the testing, you are welcome to call us at school, 315-487-4653.


Positivity Project

This week we have talked a lot about being kind, as kindness is the positivity strength we are practicing.  Speaking of kindness, I must express my gratitude to all who so kindly contributed to our local community service projects and have helped to make the Thanksgiving and holiday seasons brighter for many of our Onondaga Road families. 
Through the Positivity Project, next week we will  learn more about how other people matter and reflect upon how our own words affect others.  


Safety Reminders
Slow down!  As you enter and exit our school lots for arrival and dismissal, let me remind you that there are many, many children walking to and from the building, and many of our staff members stand in the driveways to help you.  We are working very hard to keep everyone safe.  It truly takes all of our efforts, and I ask that you slow down, be patient, and be respectful of others.  Here are a few more safety requirements:
✔️ Never pass a school bus!

✔️ Have your child exit the car door closest to the building, not in the traffic lane.
✔️ Wait until 8:40 to arrive; 8:30 is too early.

✔️ Turn right if you exit from either the bus loop or Kent Place (not left!).

✔️ Complete and send a purple Home Health Screening Sheet every day. 

 

Remote Student Supply Pickup

Mark your calendar.  The next supply pickup for all K-4 remote students has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 5, 2021, from 3:00 - 4:00p.m. 


Sincerely, Jeannette Clark
