Dear West Genesee Families,
We are well into the school year and there is progress in many areas. Our student groups move through their competition seasons appearing on campus and at away sites while representing our community at the highest level. The effort competing is matched by the many hours of work in preparation. Thank you to our students for being positive ambassadors for West Genesee!
The physical changes to our District are visible through capital project work. Current updates include:
completed installation of new walkways and fencing at the high school upper stadium,
finalized Health Office at Split Rock,
rebuilt lower landing stairs at Stonehedge, and
progress in the HS pool area in the balcony, sound system, and scoring area.
Note: Delayed work due to basement moisture is now moving forward. Updates are provided monthly at Board of Education Meetings and can be found here on the West Genesee CSD website.
In addition, demolition work has begun in Stonehedge to make way for several renovations including the nurse's office, art room, music suite, and both cafeterias and kitchens. Later in the year, work will begin on HVAC work in CMS, and music suites in both East Hill and Onondaga Road.
During the past months, preliminary designs for a future capital project have been rendered, shared with the District Facilities Committee, presented at Board of Education Meetings, and undergone revisions. The scope of the work includes:
a new Transportation Center, bus and visitor parking on the newly acquired land, with road connection to the high school property,
renovated student, staff, and visitor parking, and
new student drop-off areas, new bus line-up areas, and elimination of the existing bus loop highlighting the site work along with improved traffic flow.
More detail will be shared in upcoming months as proposed plans are finalized.
For now, enjoy this edition of the E-Newsletter that includes highlights of students and staff, important event dates, and information about employment opportunities. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!
Sincerely,
David C. Bills, Superintendent of Schools
