Chorus Concert
What a terrific concert last night! Our grade 3 and 4 chorus students, along with Mrs. Giufre accompanied by Mrs. Scerbo, sounded amazing. Their hard work and many practices over the last couple of months were showcased as they performed "A Winter Wonderland" last night in the high school auditorium! Job well-done WILDCATS you ROCKed!Parent/Guardian Climate Survey

West Genesee Strategic Planning Climate Survey
Our District values your feedback! We are currently surveying West Genesee Central School District families in order to gain insight into your perception of our schools and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.
To administer these surveys, we have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2022-2023 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and District as good as they can be.
You may complete the survey online starting today through December 16 using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the following building-specific websites. For example, if you have a child that attends Camillus Middle School, please be sure to open the CMS link. If your children attend different schools within the District, you are welcome to complete a survey for each building.
