COVID Testing
Thank you to everyone that volunteered to be tested last Friday. I know many people were unable to sign up because the spots were all taken so quickly, but that is good news! Sixty (60) students and twenty-five (25) staff members were tested and everyone was negative! In this case, negative is positive news!!
Community Giving
Thank you also to those of you that purchased a gift or two for this year's Community Giving campaign. We are going to be able to make the holidays brighter for seven East Hill families. It's not too late to purchase a gift! You can order from the online wish lists at either Amazon or Walmart. Please select your gift (gift wrapping is optional) and have it sent to Amy Vergamini, c/o EH Community Giving, 212 Starksboro Drive, Camillus, 13031. Thank you so much for your generosity!
Strategic Planning: Calls for Commentary
Every year the District's Strategic Planning Team comes together to review progress make toward improvement and make recommendations for continued growth. One of the key pieces is feedback from our community, staff, and students. Please take a few minutes to complete this year's survey. Let us know about our areas of strength and our opportunities for growth. Thank you!
Rug Remnants
As many of you are aware, we are currently using the library as well as the cafeteria for classrooms, as well as a couple of other rooms that previously were not a classroom. If anyone happens to have any carpet squares or small rug remnants you'd be willing to donate, it would be appreciated! We could use them for wet boots in the coming months.
Report Cards
This is just another reminder that we will not be mailing hard copies of report cards home. Report cards will be available to view via the Parent Portal on Schooltool this Saturday at noon. Click here to access the viewing instructions. Here is a short video that also explains how to access the report cards online. If you need a hard copy of your child's report card mailed to your home, please contact Mrs. Farley at efarley@westgenesee.org, or call the school office at (315) 487-4648.
Positivity Project
This week's focus is learning about how our words and actions affect others. This element means that everything we do, say, text, tweet, snap, or post can positively or negatively impact other people. Our actions can have ripple effects long after we make them. Please talk with your children about what they are learning this week!
