Universal Pre-Kindergarten Registration Will Open On March 11, 2024
West Genesee partners with local Community-Based Organizations (CBO) for its Pre-K program.
To be eligible for UPK during the 2024-2025 school year, a child must:
* Have a birthdate between December 2, 2019 and December 1, 2020
* Reside in the West Genesee Central School District
In the event that more registrations are received than can be accommodated, the District will conduct an initial selection process via an open lottery in which children will be selected at random.
Those children who have completed the registration process by May 1, 2024 will be part of the initial selection process.
Families who were part of the initial selection process will be called in order of selection and informed:
* whether their child has been accepted to the program, and
* which site (including hours of the program) is available for their child;
OR
* where their child is on the waiting list.
Families will be contacted by May 2-3, 2024.
If at any point after the initial selection process there are more students registered than seats available, students will be placed on the waiting list in the order that their registration was completed.
Transportation to and from the program is the responsibility of parents/guardians, and students must attend the program five days a week to maintain their seat.
Look for registration information on the Central Registration webpage at: https://www.westgenesee.org/district-services/registration/. If you have any questions, email the Central Registrar at centralregistrar@westgenesee.org, or call Central Registration at (315) 487-4683.
When registering, parents should be prepared to upload the following:
* proof of residency (ie. mortgage or property statement or signed lease agreement)
* proof of age

ST/WGIS EARLY DISMISSAL TODAY DUE TO POWER OUTAGE
West Genesee CSD
NOV 28, 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Stonehedge Elementary and West Genesee Intermediate School students will be dismissed early today due to a power outage. There has been an issue with our main power feed that impacts Stonehedge and the District Office and the heat supply to all three buildings.
National Grid is responding, but the issue will not be rectified before the end of the day. Unfortunately, without that power supply and without heat, we are not able to keep students in the buildings. Lunch cannot occur at Stonehedge for students prior to 11:15 a.m. However, with generator power we are able to feed students at West Genesee Intermediate School before they are released.
Early dismissal will begin at 11:15 a.m. today at Stonehedge Elementary for grades K-4. Pre-Kindergarten students at Stonehedge Elementary (only) should be picked up at 12:00 p.m.
BASCOL students will also be dismissed early. NO BASCOL at Stonehedge today. BASCOL parents should contact the Stonehedge and WGIS offices to let them know how their student will get home.
West Genesee Intermediate students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m.
Pre-Kindergarten students at Learn As You Grow and School of the Holy Family will continue their regular session.
If your child is normally picked up, please plan to pick them up at the respective time for their building. Buses will depart around those times as well.
We plan to put students on their regularly scheduled buses unless we hear otherwise from you that you will pick up your child. If you typically transport your child, we will expect them to be picked up.
Our apologies for the unanticipated issue and please know that the safety of children is our top priority.
