We hope everyone enjoyed the winter break last week, and now we are happy to be back in the swing of things here at OR. Will March come in like a lion or a lamb? We’ll have to watch and see on Monday! I think spring is in the air!
100 Days!
Wednesday marked the 100th day of this school year! As noted by our students, we have grown 100 days smarter, kinder and closer to one another. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our school healthy, safe and happy.
Green Day for MDA
Be on the lookout for information about Green Day for MDA! We will be participating in a community service and awareness-building event to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Students will learn about the MDA, wear green on March 17th, and “lap the loop” (walk around the bus loop) to show our community support. More coming, so stay tuned!
#PositivityInAction
One of the things I love most about my career is the enthusiasm that young people bring to school every day! They keep us young at heart. Next week we will learn about enthusiasm and zest through the Positivity Project. People who have enthusiasm as a character strength have a unique gift of bringing energy and excitement to most situations. They energize the people around them! Do you know people who have this trait?
Register for Kindergarten
Kindergarten registration for the 2021-2022 school year is currently open until March 31, 2021. If you know of anyone who will begin Kindergarten, please let them know! Parents may utilize the Virtual Registration process to get started and schedule a tele-meeting! If parents have any questions, please call our Central Registration Office at (315) 487-4683.
Rescheduled from February:
Board of Education to Host a Listening Session
The West Genesee Central School District Board of Education (BOE) invites parents, staff, community members, and students to a rescheduled Community Listening Session.
It will be held in the West Genesee High School library on Wednesday, March 3, from 6:00-7:00 p.m., prior to the regular 7:00 BOE meeting. The guiding question for this is: "What are your hopes and dreams for WGCSD?" Please consider joining this session and offering your thoughts.
If you would like to attend at the library, please pre-register by filling out the RSVP from the invitation here. This allows us to keep track of participant numbers. Depending on the number of people in the library, we have a plan for overflow (i.e. satellite rooms) if needed. It will also be livestreamed, so anyone can watch from this link.
If you cannot attend the event but want to share your thoughts, please send an email with your hopes to the BOE Presiden, Kimberly Coyne, at kcoyne@westgenesee.org.

Enjoy the weekend ahead, and welcome March!
