Time to celebrate our unsung heroes! 🎉
Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day, and we are shining the spotlight on our incredible Custodial Services Team.
They are the indispensable backbone of our schools, working tirelessly—often before the sun rises and long after it sets—to ensure our facilities are safe, healthy, and welcoming for every student and staff member.
From rigorous sanitation and maintenance to setting up for every assembly and event, their dedication is the foundation of our positive learning environment. Thank you for your unwavering professionalism and commitment.
Please drop a quick "thank you" to your school custodians and cleaners today.

Good Afternoon Families:
I want to take this opportunity to thank all our fathers and father figures that came out this morning to represent the importance of being present in their child's life and education. We saw fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers and older brothers. Everyone has a purpose in a child's life! We appreciate you all. Due to testing it was short and sweet but we will celebrate on another occasion with other events! Thank you again on behalf of your Oneida M.S. Family, Our sponsor MBK - My Brothers Keeper as well as Community Fathers! We had a great turn out! Pictures will be posted by next week on the Oneida Facebook Page!

Buenas tardes, familias:
Quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos nuestros padres y figuras paternas que vinieron esta mañana para representar la importancia de estar presentes en la vida y la educación de sus hijos. Vimos padres, padrastros, abuelos, tíos, padrinos y hermanos mayores. Todos tenemos un propósito en la vida de un niño! Los apreciamos a todos. Debido a las pruebas, fue breve y conmovedor, pero celebraremos en otra ocasión con otros eventos. Gracias nuevamente en nombre de su familia de Oneida M.S., nuestro patrocinador MBK - My Brothers Keeper, y de los Padres Comunitarios. ¡Tuvimos una gran participación! ¡Las fotos se publicarán la próxima semana en la página de Facebook de Oneida!
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet your student's teachers, learn about the curriculum, and get a feel for their classroom environment.

Your child's safety is our top priority, and we ask that you take a moment to review and reinforce important safety habits with them. Please remind your child to always report anything that seems suspicious to a trusted adult, whether it's a parent, teacher, or police officer. Having these conversations can give them the confidence to respond safely in any situation.

If you have any concerns or suggestions I am here to assist you in anyway that I can. If you would like to
book an appointment with me, Carmen Valle, Oneida Parent Liaison go to the booking calendar on the link provided
and choose date, time and whether it will be virtual, phone or in person.
