Federal Stimulus Survey
We'd like to know what you think!
The Genesee Valley Central School District has been awarded targeted federal funding to support the reopening of schools in the fall. The District must spend the funds in ways that will support the academic, social-emotional, and/or mental health needs of our students.
As we develop our plan we’d like to include community input. You can share your thoughts and ideas with us via this a confidential survey. The survey will close on Wednesday, June 9.
Regents Exams
The requirements surrounding Regents exams this June have been changed by the state. Only four exams will be offered and students are not required to take or pass them in order to earn Regents Credit this year.
Please see the letter below from Mrs. Donlon for more details.
