As per the directive, our building is now closed until further notice. Building principals are now working from home as well. If you need to contact me, you can either email me at mkimpland@westgenesee.org or call the building, 315-487-4656 and leave a voicemail. Your voicemail will go directly to my email.
Secondly, I know some of you are anxious to begin home instruction. I wanted to let you know that you will be receiving another communication from me at some point on Friday, March 20th, that will provide you with information regarding remote learning. We will have a page off of the district homepage 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, that you will only be able to access if you have a gmail account. The 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 upcoming break, the teachers will be in charge of populating the remote instruction page with new learning.
It is our intent with remote learning 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.
Lastly, 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 mkimpland@westgenesee.org or voicemail 315-487-4656. Please stay safe and healthy and tell your children that the staff and I already miss them!!
