Notes from Onondaga Road
February 11, 2023
Message From Onondaga Road School Principal
Hello, Onondaga Road Families -
I would like to take this moment to bid a very fond farewell to Ms. Barb Randall, our Onondaga Road School Counselor.
Ms. Randall will be stepping away from school to take care of her own health, and her last day with us will be Friday, February 17, 2023.
I know you will join me in expressing gratitude for Ms. Randall's dedication, and in wishing Ms. Randall nothing but the very best in health and happiness. We will miss her tremendously. Ms. Randall has been an integral member of our families, both inside and outside of our school walls. She has touched and inspired the lives of hundreds of children, and she has guided us in every aspect of our development. We have the utmost respect for Ms. Randall's dedication and perseverance as an empathetic counselor, mentor, and friend.
We are currently in the process of finding the right fit for our school counselor position. I appreciate your patience and understanding while we complete this process. As soon as possible, I will introduce a new counselor who will guide us through the next few months, and potentially beyond.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Jeannette Clark
