Greetings from my home office...

Hi Stonehedge Families,

I hope you will have your child watch my video above!  I miss seeing those sweet faces! I hope this finds you well as you begin to adjust to your new schedule. I wanted to update you on a few things.

First, the building is now closed until further notice. Previously I indicated that the building would be open this week, but the decision was made to close the buildings to all non-essential personnel beginning yesterday afternoon. Building principals are now working from home. If you need to contact me, you can either email me at asimmons@westgenesee.org or call the building, 315-487-4633 and leave a voicemail. Your voicemail will go directly to my email.  I will get back to you.

Next, I know some of you are anxious to begin home instruction and many of you already have! I wanted to let you know that you will be receiving another communication from me at some point Friday, March 20th that will provide you with information regarding remote learning. We will have a page off of the district website that will be updated weekly with suggested activities and learning for our students. This page will provide you with reading and math activities, as well as special area activities (art, physical education, library, and music). We have also included P2 which I believe, unfortunately, you will only be able to fully access if you have a Gmail account. All activities for the first two weeks were put together by the instructional coaches and administrators. If it is necessary to continue instruction remotely following our scheduled spring break, the teachers will be in charge of populating the remote instruction page with new learning.

The intent for remote learning, over the next couple of weeks, is to minimize potential instructional slide. We do not want to add any additional pressure to families during this stressful time. Rather, we want to help families by providing activities that will keep students productive and engaged. Stay tuned for more information regarding the remote learning opportunities.

Mrs. Susan Sheehan, our school counselor, is here to support students and families.  Please email her at ssheehan@westgenesee.org.  She will email or call you back. (Pictured here in case students need a visual)

Finally, if you have technological needs, please see the District website (westgenesee.org) and the note from Superintendent Bills.

Again, I can be reached via email (asimmons@westgenesee.org) or voicemail 315-487-4633. Please stay safe and healthy. Please tell your children that I miss them!!

My warmest regards,
 Amanda
