You may know by now that the plans for next week have changed a
bit. Governor Cuomo issued a new Executive Order which states that
school districts must continue plans for alternative instructional options (as
well as distribution of food) and "continue to first use any vacation or
snow days remaining.” What this means for all of us is that we no longer have
Spring Break as it had been scheduled on the school calendar. We will continue
to provide remote instruction for all of our students.
This surely brings mixed emotions for many of you. Some families will likely be happy that an instructional plan will be provided to keep children productive and engaged, and others were likely looking forward to a break. I guess we will all need to continue to be flexible during these uncertain times!
Beginning next week your child will be directed to visit their teacher's Google Classroom for literacy and math instruction. All other activities will be linked to the document through the West Genesee home page, on the portal. If you have any questions please contact your teacher directly, email me at jclark@westgenesee.org, or call the office and leave a message that will automatically go to me (315-487-4653).

Positives for Your To-Do List
Hopefully you have come to realize the importance of keeping some sort of consistent schedule for your family while managing these days at home. Getting up at your regular weekday time, sitting down to your meals, getting lessons and tasks done at scheduled times, exercising, and going to bed at your routine bedtime are all daily activities that keep us productive and structured. Maybe you can sprinkle some positive to-dos on your list...
