Principal's Newsletter

These are busy times for Onahan School! Don't forget about picture retakes Friday, and Trunk or Treat in the evening. Next week is Halloween, so look for information from homeroom teachers for specific plans for classroom parties. Pre-k through third grade will participate in a costume parade around the school perimeter at 1:00 pm, weather permitting, on October 31st. 🎃

Monday is Report Card pickup and is a non-student attendance day. If you have not made an appointment with your child's teacher for a conference, I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible, and not miss this opportunity.

If you want a peak at what students have been doing in Spanish class during the first quarter, here is the latest Onahan Spanish Class News Update!

Students in K-3 will be treated to an in person author visit. Look out for hyped up kids about this popular author. Wouldn't it be cool to have a signed book? Thank you PTO and Megan Freeley for arranging this special treat.

The Scholastic Book Fair will be at Onahan November 5th and 6th. Volunteers are needed to help set up and take down as well as assisting during the school day while classes come in to buy books. Please consider signing up to help. Sign up here! It will be an uplifting experience!

Do you want to help out the school but don't have time to spend on location? Do you drink Starbucks everyday, shop at Target frequently or buy gas? You can use reloadable gift cards and give money back to Onahan, ALL YEAR LONG!

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to pay your school fees. The fees help support our new HMH Into Reading and Into Literature curriculum—resources not fully covered by our budget. Thanks to the PTO and Friends of Onahan, we’ve received generous support, but family contributions are still needed to ensure all students have what they need. If your child qualifies for free lunch, you can request a waiver from the main office. Thank you for helping make this possible!

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.
