Notes from Onondaga Road
February 17, 2023
Message From Onondaga Road School Principal
Hello, Onondaga Road Families -
Please join me in saying a very fond farewell to Ms. Barb Randall, our Onondaga Road School Counselor. As you know, Ms. Randall will be stepping away from school to take care of her own health, and today was her last day with us at school. We wish Ms. Randall nothing but the best in the months ahead.
Please welcome Mrs. Gina Dixe to Onondaga Road! Mrs. Dixe is our new school counselor who will help guide us through the school year. We are fortunate to have a counselor with many years of experience and a wide range of expertise in her field. Mrs. Dixe has been with OCM BOCES, Cayuga Community College and Auburn City Schools to name a few of her experiences. We are grateful to have her here, and she is looking forward to getting to know our students, staff, and families.
You are welcome to contact me, your child's teacher, and/or Mrs. Dixe if you have any questions or if we can help support you in any way. Thank you for your kindness and patience while we work together during this time of transition.
Respectfully,
Jeannette Clark
