West Genesee High School

Many students enjoy breakfast and lunch at school on a regular basis. It is understandable when families find it challenging to provide those meals during school vacations. Please note the following free lunch and food pantry information. Food pantries partner with the Food Bank of CNY to provide low cost, nutritious food to those in need. The following is a list of food pantries and services available in our community to assist families. To find your appropriate food pantry location and to sign up, contact the Interreligious Food Consortium (IRC) weekdays at 315-474-8855 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Their website is: http://www.ifccny.org/.

WGCSD PTA/PTO District Council Provides School Supplies to Students in Need For 15 years, West Genesee PTA/PTO District Council has been collecting and providing school supplies to students in need. Parents/Guardians can register their students to receive supplies by clicking this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIcHZOb5ZAe5ys_UClL3uk0lGYFFQyPGbtobSZy8d8cLZZDw/viewform. (The forms must be completed by August 20, 2024.) If you have questions about our program, contact us at wgschoolsupplies@gmail.com.

We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled at West Genesee CSD will be able to continue to receive one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch meal per day at school. This initiative was implemented in December 2023 and was a result of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanding access to the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.

Thirty-nine WGHS students had a total of forty-six perfect scores on their Advanced Placement examinations in May: (Note: There may be a couple of student scores that may not be reported until August.)
