It's hard to believe that the first couple of school days are already behind us. Our teachers, counselors, support staff, and students all did a fantastic job during our opening days this week. Below are some images from the preparations and the opening.

Lunch Reminders

  • Lunches must be pre-ordered on the Nutrislice system. A description of the app and how to use it, are included in the packet that was mailed to your home or by clicking here
  • If lunches are not pre-ordered they can be ordered in a student homeroom.

Vaccination Reminder

The emphasis on COVID-19 may have overshadowed some other vaccination requirements for students. Our nurses have sent out letters to remind families that Seniors are required to have their two doses of Meningococcal vaccine OR one dose if the dose was received at 16 or older.

Students who still have not had those vaccinations will not be allowed to return to school. Please reach out to our nurses if you need guidance on this topic. cprior@westgenesee.org or khancock@westgenesee.org.

Students still needing vaccinations on Friday, September 25 will be asked to remain home until they have received the vaccination.

Meet the Principals Night

Save the Date: Wednesday, September 16 will be a Virtual Meet the Principals Night. The purpose of the night will be to provide information about the year for the high school. Please watch for an additional communication to sign-up for the event.  

PSATs Saturday, October 17 

West Genesee High School will be offering the PSAT on October 17, 2020. The day will be limited to 150 students to safely accommodate the test takers. Please look for future updates for times or contact the Counseling Office for more specific information.
