A Message From Mr. Hofer
Dear Parents and Caregivers:
The cold weather has arrived - students should have a coat, hat, and gloves with them every day and if they want to play in the snow they also need boots and snow pants. Dressing in layers is a great strategy.
If the windchill is greater than 10 degrees students will be outside for recess.
If you find your family needs assistance with coats, hats, gloves/mittens, please contact Jill Woulf at jwoulf@geneseoschools.org.
Wishing you well,
Mr. Brian Hofer
Southwest Principal
