Greetings from Onondaga Road!

 Congratulations to Our Retirees

It is with heartfelt gratitude and emotion that I wish this year’s Onondaga Road retirees a fond farewell.  Please join me in congratulating Teaching Assistant Mrs. Hart, First Grade Teacher Mrs. Grecco, and School Psychologist Mrs. Conley.  Each of these amazing people has touched the lives of hundreds of students over the years, and their positive impact is forever ingrained in many, many families (and colleagues alike!).  I would like to extend my gratitude for their never ending support and always student-centered dedication.  I have learned so much from Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Grecco, and Mrs. Conley, and I know I speak for our families and our staff when I say they will be missed tremendously.  Congratulations!


Planning for the School Year Ahead
Many people are planning before and after school daycare for the fall, so you need to know that our school day hours will be going back to “normal” (or pre-COVID times!).  Next year’s school day for students will be 9:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Best Wishes to the Senior Class of 2021

Last Friday, the class of 2021 seniors came back to Onondaga Road for their farewell tour!  This is an amazing tradition that we’ve been hosting for several years now, and seniors return to their elementary schools to see teachers and take a trip down memory lane!  Our kindergarteners are the class of 2033, and it was really cute to see them wish the class of 2021 well.  The seniors were so grateful and happy.  Congratulations!




















Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you next week for the final week of the school year!

Sincerely,
Jeannette Clark
