Message From The Onondaga Road School Principal
Hello, Onondaga Road Families!
We have a lot going on at school as we finish up this busy month of October and head into November! Take a look at the notes below to keep up with all of our Onondaga Road School happenings, and let us know if you have any questions.
Enjoy these beautiful fall days!

Positivity Project
#PositivityInAction! This week we are learning about creativity as a positve character strenght. Our creativity will be on display for our fall events and for our spirit week here at school next week! Here is a link to a family friendly letter about creativity.
While we engage in our "creativity" initiatives, we'll also be learning about how our words and actions affect others. This is yet another way to encourage an "other people matter" mindset. Here is some information to help facilitate communication at home.
Family Fall Fun Night
- Pumpkin Drop-Off - If you would like to decorate and donate a family pumpkin, please drop it off at school between 4:00-6:00 on Wednesday, 10/26. Please use the gym door closest to the parking lot as the drop-off place, as the main door will be locked at that time.
- Pumpkin Walk - This is an outdoor event for Onondaga Road School families on Thursday, 10/27, and you are welcome to attend any time from 5:30-7:00. The walk will start at the front of the school, near the flag pole, and go all the way around the building!
- Parking - Please plan to park in the streets surrounding the school grounds. For safety, the parking lot and bus loop will be closed to traffic for the evening. We will be closing the parking lots at 4:00 in order to set up for our event.
- Games and Snacks - These will be located in front of the school in the bus loop as you finish your walk around the school yard.
- Scholastic Book Fair - You are welcome to visit the book fair in the library from 5:30-7:00. Classes will also have the opportunity to visit the book fair during the day on Friday, just in case anyone can't make it Thursday evening. Please see the Scholastic Book Fair flyer that was sent home with your child for details!
