Notes from the WGHS Principals

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers,

We hope you are all enjoying your snow day! So much is happening at the high school as we begin the second semester. Please see below to check it out and get some important updates!

Sincerely,

The WGHS Administrative Team

Students and staff at WGHS continue to work to create a school environment that supports diversity, equity and inclusion. Please see the “Report to the Community” graphic below to learn more about the ways our building is working together to achieve our goals.

Parents, guardians, and caregivers of seniors will be receiving the first of monthly senior updates next week regarding end of the year senior celebrations. Please note the following:

CAPS/GOWNS: Be sure that your Senior has ordered a cap and gown from Jostens. If not, do so HERE at nygrad.com as soon as possible to ensure delivery in time for graduation. Please note that caps and gowns are delivered to the school and do not get distributed until Senior Ball Day.

Save the Dates:

SENIOR BALL: The Senior Ball will be held on Friday, May 13 at the Marriott Hotel in Downtown Syracuse from 6:30-11:30 PM. Specific information will be coming soon!

GRADUATION: The Class of 2022 Graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 18 at 12:00 PM at the SRC Arena at Onondaga Community College.

We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2022!

If your child has been COVID +, they will need to be cleared by their physician with the linked form. Please return to the high school health office for approval. You may disregard it if you have previously submitted a form.

Attention juniors and seniors, please consider becoming a blood donor! Every 2 seconds someone in America needs blood. On February 14, West Genesee High School will partner with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive. There is currently a national blood shortage and your donation can help! Every donation helps and can save up to 3 lives! Celebrate this Valentines by showing your love, rolling up your sleeves and donating! You can make a difference! You must have a signed parent or guardian permission slip which you can get with this link, visiting Mrs. Ostrander in C115, or looking for the NHS Red Cross tables in front of the cafeterias during lunch.
