Meet our School Nurses: This Week...Annie Zeleznock
We would like to introduce you to Annie Zeleznock who is one of the nurses at Stonehedge Elementary School.
She is a St. Joseph’s Hospital College of Nursing graduate, where she received her Associates of Science degree in Nursing/Registered Nursing (RN) in 2004.
Zeleznock started her nursing career as an Operating Room RN at St. Joseph’s Hospital in 2004 specializing in Orthopedic and Neurological Surgery along with Vascular and Open Heart surgery.
She joined the West Genesee School District in 2020 as a substitute nurse for the District and then accepted a full time position at Onondaga Road Elementary School in 2022.
She grew up in Camillus, NY and currently lives in Warners with her husband Dave and their three children Ryan (15), Tim (14) and Kayleigh (7).
In her spare time, she enjoys attending her children’s sporting events and is excited to attend her daughter’s first CSPA performance (Aladdin Jr.) in April. She also enjoys camping in the Adirondacks with her family during the summer and skiing in the winter.

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
