Message from the Principal
Oswegatchie Families, We have a very special week coming up at all of our elementary schools in district. On Monday, September 24th, we will begin our Start With Hello Campaign. Created by the Sandy Hook Promise Organization, Start With Hello is a weeklong initiative to promote a culture of inclusion and initiate positive relationships. Here is what Start With Hello Week will look like at Oswegatchie: Monday We begin the week with a whole school Town Meeting to introduce Start With Hello. This dovetails perfectly with our school-wide messaging related to Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Kind behavioral expectations. Fifth grade greeters will be in all hallways to welcome the other grades every day this week. Students will receive a secret buddy assignment. The mission will be to provide acts of kindness for their buddy throughout the week. Tuesday “Say Hey” Day Everyone will have name tags and will greet each other by first names to initiate and strengthen inclusion and positive relationships. Wednesday No One Plays Alone Day Students will make sure that everyone has somebody to play with. Thursday Secret Buddy Reveal Day! Secret buddies will by unmasked and classes will share the special acts that they experienced. Friday Completion of Positivity Wall Students will have completed an art project under Mrs. Hendrickson’s guidance throughout the week. Friday, the completed Friendship Quilt will be showcased in the cafeteria and classes will visit and discuss the week as a whole. SAFETY REMINDER: During morning drop off, please have your children exit from the vehicle door facing the building. Parents, please do not pass the other cars at drop off to pull up to the front of the building. These considerations are imperative to the safety of our students. Does your child need breakfast at school? We can help you out. Follow the link: menus SPANISH LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITY! Check the attached flyer
