We have been treated to some beautiful weather the last few weeks! A few leaves here and there are starting to change. The days are growing shorter. And the biggest tell-tale sign that summer is drawing to a close, the New York State Fair is coming to an end. All these point to the fact that next week, your children will come bursting through our Stonehedge doors eager for a new year to begin.
Our dedicated staff and teachers are busily working to prepare the school to greet new students and welcome back returning ones.
As thoughts turn to the school year, now is a great opportunity to mention a few policies in our building.
Our District's Wellness Policy
The West Genesee Central School District recognizes children need access to nutritional foods and opportunities to be physically active in order to learn, grow, and thrive. Good health fosters school attendance and educational achievement. School district personnel, in partnership with parents, significantly influence the lifelong nutrition and physical activity habits of children.

Making Snack Time a Safe and Healthy Time for Everyone
In order to promote healthy eating and taking into consideration students with food allergies, we are asking that you only send in a snack for your child from the list of foods provided by your child's teacher. We have found in the past that this policy has worked well to keep our students healthy and safe. Since our students may rotate classrooms throughout the day for different learning opportunities, it is essential that all rooms remain free of peanuts and nut allergens.
Please follow the snack guidelines provided by your child’s teacher. Guidelines might be slightly different at each grade level to preserve classroom time.
