Welcome Back, Onondaga Road Families!

...And welcome to Kindergarten, Class of 2030!

We are ready to welcome our students back for a new school year on Wednesday, September 6, 2017.  The first day is a full day of school beginning at 9:00 and ending at 3:20.  It's going to be a great year of learning and growing!

 

Over the next few weeks, and into this school year, you will hear a lot about our latest initiatives here at Onondaga Road and throughout the West Genesee School District.  We are especially excited about these newest priorities:

• OR's Behavior Expectations: Be Responsible.  Be Respectful.  Be safe.
• The Positivity Project... #OtherPeopleMatter!
• Standards Based Report Cards

You will get an introduction to all of this, and more, when you come to our Curriculum Night next Thursday.  We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Here are a few dates to get us started:

• Curriculum Night will be held on Thursday, September 7, at 6:00-7:30.  This is a good time for parents to come in and meet the teachers, and find out what this year is sure to bring for your child.  Watch for a detailed flyer to come home on the first day of school!
• Please come to our first PTA meeting being held in our OR library on Tuesday, September 12 at 6:30!  Our very generous and dedicated PTA is to be credited and thanked for many events for our families and students.  Come see what this year will bring, and remember, we can't do it without YOU!
• Our school picture day is Wednesday, September 27.  Send your child with his/her best smile!

Thanks to everyone who helped make the many events of last week so successful at Onondaga Road!  It really does take a village!  Enjoy these pictures from Olympics, Flag Day, and our first annual "Senior Walk."

Everyone had a great time at the Olympics!

Perseverance!

Teamwork!

Lots of smiles!

Olympics update from Onondaga Road

OR Olympics are scheduled for tomorrow morning, Friday, June 16, at 9:30-11:30.  The weather is looking questionable, so here's the plan...

If it's rainy tonight and just wet in the morning, we'll hold Olympics as planned!

If it's stormy in the morning, our rain date for the Olympics is Monday, June 19.  

If your child wears his or her team colored T-shirt to school on Friday and we happen to cancel, no worries! Just wear it again on Monday!

Wednesday, 6/21 and Thursday, 6/22 are half-days.  

• Dismissal is at 11:30 on these days.  If you choose to pick up your child, please do not arrive until 11:15, as “walkers” and “pick-ups” will be dismissed at 11:20.

We look forward to a positive year-end experience for each child.
