What an appropriate character strength on which to focus at this time of year! Self-control is the ability to control your emotions and behaviors. You think before you act. People with this strength understand that through discipline and restraint, there are greater, long-term goals that they can accomplish. Admittedly, self-control is not one of my top strengths but definitely something upon which I can improve! For more about self-control, click here.
Holiday Concerts
What a beautiful job our orchestra, band, and chorus did at the holiday concerts last week! They sounded great at the afternoon assembly and sounded amazing at their evening concert at the high school! The band and orchestra also performed last Friday night at Destiny USA. We really are fortunate to have such wonderful music teachers, musicians, and supportive families! Thank you to Don Schuessler for pinch-hitting for Mrs. Causer!
Classroom parties will be held this Thursday at 2:15. Only those parents who have been contacted by the room parent and are on our list will be allowed in the building for the parties. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Report Cards
The first trimester report cards were sent home with the students last Friday. Please take the time to review this document with your child. Please pay close attention to the Characteristics of the Learner section. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
Calls for Commentary
Every year the West Genesee Central School District's Strategic Planning Team comes together to review our progress toward improvement and make recommendations for continued growth. One of the key pieces of feedback is gathered from our staff, students, and community. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. We'd like to hear your opinions on our areas of strength and opportunities for growth. Thank you!
