Remote Update for December 16, 2020
Below are some updates to go with our recent switch to remote learning.
Schedule for Remote Classes for the Coming Days
The following was sent in a previous blog about the remote schedule:
- We would continue to follow our current schedule to meet synchronously with students on Zoom or Google Meet. The days set aside for 9th & 10th grade and 11th & 12th grade would stay the same. Class periods and those times when a teacher would meet with their classes would stay the same.
- Wednesdays would remain set aside for office hours as well as other times to meet with students and for planning time.
- Content would continue to be pushed out electronically to students via Google Classroom or other digital means asynchronously on the remote days as it is now.
Shortened Week Schedule Next Week
As we did prior to Thanksgiving we adjusted the days when students would meet with their teachers. The difference now is that these class days will be virtual the difference is below:
Monday December 21
- Grades 9 & 10 will follow their class schedule virtually Monday.
- Grades 11 & 12 will follow their class schedule virtually on Tuesday.
- Scheduled remote check-in day for all students.
BOCES Transportation During Remote Period
From December 17 through December 23, students will continue to be bussed to and from the high school to their BOCES programs. Any student needing transportation to and from West Genesee High School to catch the bus to their respective BOCES programs can request transportation by emailing your request to dprice@westgenesee.org. If you have further questions please contact the aforementioned email or call the transportation department at 315-487-4576.

Updates for the Week of December 14, 2020
The roller coaster ride of temperatures this past week is yet another sign that 2020 is showing itself to be a different kind of year. With the 50+ degree weather at the end of week, that was a welcome change from the typical weather for this time of year. Below are a few updates for the week.
Online Support for Struggling Students
West Genesee High School is offering online support for students who may need extra help from an adult after school. The support runs after 3:00 p.m. on school days through small Zoom groups. Please contact your child's guidance counselor or Mrs. White in the Blue House at mwhite@westgenesee.org for more information.
Water Bottles
We now have a number of water fill stations throughout the building instead of traditional water fountains. Students should bring a water bottle that they can fill for drinking since our regular water fountains are not allowed to be used this school year.
Holiday Card Winners
Every year the Board of Education and the Administration of the West Genesee Central School District sends out holiday cards to the community and staff using student artwork. This year the wonderful artwork for the holiday cards was provided by WGHS students Julia Griffith, Lucy Neimeier, and Orion Stress. Congratulations!
