Good morning Oneida families. The PTSO is sponsoring the upcoming 7th/8th Grade Halloween Dance on 10/27 at 630pm. We are seeking donations from our school community to help off-set our costs. Parents/guardians who are able to donate we are seeking bottled water and/or prepackaged chips. We ask that you send them in by Monday, 10/24 to your student's homeroom teacher. If you'd like to make a cash donation, you may send in your contribution via Venmo @Oneida PTSO. Thank you in advance for your support.
Attendance in elementary school is important because kids are building the foundational knowledge for reading & math which will help them succeed throughout all of their years in school. HS dropouts have higher rates of absence beginning as early as 1st grade. #projectbehere

Please join us in celebrating unity day on Wednesday, October 19th.

Students who are chronically absent are missing critical instruction time & are at the greatest risk of falling behind & dropping out of school. What does it mean to be chronically absent? Missing 18 days of school in a school year is considered chronic absence. #projectbehere

Don't feel like cooking? Want to support the Oneida PTSO? Stop down to Chipotle tonight from 4-8 to show your support. You can dine in or take out, just be sure to use the code on the flyer when placing your order!
Let's work together to ensure that children are in school every day. It makes a difference. Students can fall behind if they miss just one or two days a month. These days add up. If you need assistance, please let us know. #projectbehere
