Looking ahead, please mark your calendars for March 18th, when Onahan will host our Local School Council Election for the 2026-2028 term. This happens to be the same day as our Parent/Teacher conferences. To help you get to know the dedicated parents and community members who are running, we invite you to a Candidate Forum on February 19th at 6:30 pm in the auditorium. It’s a great opportunity to connect with our future leaders! Plus, stay tuned for details on our upcoming Student Forum—we appreciate hearing student voices.
This calendar is designed to help you and your child explore the big feelings and small moments that make up their day. There are no right or wrong answers—just opportunities to listen, share, and grow together. Use these prompts as a bridge to deeper connection whenever you have five quiet minutes.
Break out the neon and leg warmers — the Friends of Onahan Annual Fundraiser is going full 80’s!

Kindergarten learned about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel today. We then practiced being safe, creative, and respectful while collaborating on our own Sistine Chapel experience.
Here is a video of Scooter Tag in PE. Students worked on moving safely, following the rules, and waiting their turn. The students were very safe, and I would say this was one of the kindergarteners’ best classes. They truly had their listening ears on today and did a great job from start to finish.
With the older student we are wrapping up our basketball unit with Scooter Basketball. Scooter basketball sharpens coordination and spatial awareness by forcing players to control movement differently. For example, students need to move into open space to get open and receive a pass.
