August Greetings from OR!
Hello, Onondaga Road School families! Welcome to all who are new to our school or district, and welcome back to those families returning from remote instruction.
While you are enjoying the remaining weeks of summer, I thought I would send you a greeting and introduce a few school updates. This week you will receive a letter from me in the mail regarding your new classroom and your teacher. This is a very exciting time for children and teachers alike!
I would like to welcome Mrs. Bridget McGlynn (our school psychologist), Ms. Kelly Roy (grade 3 teacher), and Ms. Kayla Stirpe (grade 3 teacher). We are very fortunate to have an amazing group of experienced professionals joining our staff at Onondaga Road! Also, lucky are we to have several of our staff members returning from the remote setting last year to in-school this year: Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Marzola, Ms. Randall.
We have a few teachers who have changed to different positions within the building: Ms. Tschernjawski has changed from grade 3 to an IS (Instructional Specialist) position and will be working with students in grades K-4, and Mrs. Laurie has changed from grade 3 to a grade 1 classroom. We are excited for these adjustments and look forward to our new school year!
Here are some important things to keep in mind regarding our return to school:
Our elementary school day is returning to our “regularly scheduled” school day hours, 9:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Mask up! Students and staff will be wearing a mask inside the building and on our buses, and we will do our very best to keep one another healthy!
Once you read all of the information regarding arrival/dismissal, which is included in your return-to-school mail, you must call our school if your child will not be riding a bus and will need a pick-up car number tag (315-487-4653). Please be sure that you read all of the enclosed (mailed) information before calling, then let us know if you have any questions!
Kindergarten Orientation is on Monday, August 23 at 9:00 a.m. There is an invitation in your packet that you will receive in this week’s mail! Please wear a mask.
New Student Orientation/walk-through is Monday, August 23 at 1:00 p.m. You will receive an invitation in the mail only if you are new to our school. Please wear a mask.
School starts on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, and it is a full day for students.
Keep enjoying these sunny, summery days, and I will update you with anything new that comes our way!
See you soon…
Sincerely,
Jeannette Clark
