September News

On Thursday, July 11th, students and families enrolled in the Pre-Employment Transition Services Program through Wayne Finger Lakes BOCES attended a college tour at Finger Lakes Community College. Students attended an admissions presentation, presentation on support services and toured the campus and suites. During our tour, we learned about many ways to get involved through clubs, sports and activities as well as the many resources available to support students. Students from Gananda School District, Wayne Central School District and Finger Lakes Secondary School attended the trip along with their family and the Work Based Learning Coordinator of Gananda School District.

Emergency Contact Forms will be mailed home with food service forms August 26th. Please review the emergency contact form and, even if there are no changes, send it in with your student the first week of school. With the district change from Infinite Campus to SchoolTool, we want to make sure all emergency contact information is correct. Please take the time to review these forms when received.

All other forms have been sent through ParentSquare. These include:

• Parent/Student Handbook Sign-Off
• Laptop Agreement
• Publishing Rights Release and Electronic Access Form

Student parking spots will be assigned this year - students must submit their forms prior to school. The form is linked here and can also be picked up in the Main Office. Once it is filled out, you can take a picture and email it to us or drop it off.

Please be sure to take the time to review the Student Handbook and Code of Conduct prior to the start of school. These documents have important information regarding academic requirements, offerings, behavior expectations and other procedures.

If you have not received an invitation to join ParentSquare, please contact the HS main office.

Students will continue to use their school ID card to scan when boarding their school bus. In addition to their ID card, students may obtain a barcode on their phone to use for scanning. Instructions on how to obtain the code are posted on each bus or can be found here.

Absences need to be reported to the school health office by the parent/guardian of the student. This may be done so online by completing this form.

Respectfully,

Dr. Christopher J. Whipple, Principal
