On Thursday, October 15, 2020, the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs, Clan Mothers, and Faithkeepers continued meeting with LaFayette School District Superintendent Jeremy Bellfield about the status of the Onondaga Nation School (ONS). It was decided that ONS will remain closed for in person instruction through the second marking period (January 29, 2021). All students and staff at ONS will continue to participate in virtual instruction.
The Onondaga Nation Council is very appreciative of the continued efforts of Superintendent Bellfield, Principal Simone Gonyea, and the entire staff of the Onondaga Nation School in teaching the children on the Nation while attempting keeping everyone safe.
