Message from the Principal
Dear Oswegatchie School Community, I am pleased to report that the first week of school was a success! Nothing beats those first-day smiles. We appreciate all the support as we kick off the new school year. I cannot thank parents and families enough for helping us initiate the new drop off and pick up processes with ease. I enjoyed visiting classrooms to introduce myself. During those visits, I was impressed with the relationship-building activities that the students and teachers were involved in. Our Back to School Picnic will be Friday, September 7th from 5:00 to 7:00. Please come out for a wonderful school-wide event hosted by the Oswegatchie School Organization. Thursday, September 13th is our Back To School Night from 6:00-7:00. Please be sure to come and meet your child’s teacher and see your child’s classroom. The students are very excited to show you what they’ve been learning. Our September OSO meeting is next Monday, September 17th, from 6:30-8:00. Child care will be provided.
