Principal's Newsletter

Dear Onahan Community,

Welcome to a brand-new school year! Monday is the start of new friendships, exciting learning adventures, and countless moments that will help our students grow. Together, we will make this a wonderful year filled with joy, curiosity, and success for every child. Let’s get started! We hope to see you at the BACK TO SCHOOL BASH tonight, from 5:00-7:00 pm.

If not already, you should be hearing from homeroom teachers through email about specific details in the coming days. At the bottom of this newsletter, you will find the SY26 Onahan Family Handbook (and on our website). It outlines what doors students will enter and dismiss from, and times for recess and lunch. On Monday, try out our Kiss and Ride lanes, but don't park in them!

Read on to see how the year is shaping up! Try out a PTO or Friends of Onahan Meeting and share your ideas!

To pay student fees go to Epay (or go to onahanschool.org main page, very top corner) and use the chart below. You can select the option of One Time Payment rather than creating an account or logging in. You will need one student ID, and if you are a current student, that can be found on Aspen’s parent portal, a progress report or report card. If you are not able to pay the fees, please contact the main office at (773) 534-1180.
