Survey Says...
Two seniors at West Genesee High School have a favor to ask of our parents. They are members of the Odyssey Program, and one of the components of the program is to produce a research-based project for a panel presentation. With the current COVID-19 situation, they've chosen a project to explore how increased technology use is impacting the students in our community. If you could take a few minutes to complete this brief, nine-question survey, they would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

School Closings Update...
During a daily briefing regarding the state of the state, Governor Cuomo announced on Thursday that all schools in NY State are to extend school closings through May 15th.  Stay tuned for updates regarding school closings, but most importantly, stay healthy.
