Watkins Glen Central School District

Happy Friday WG!!

As always, I hope this message finds you happy and healthy!

April 8^th, 2024 – Eclipse Day – UPDATEAs you may or may not know, our region is securely in the path of totality for the Solar Eclipse scheduled for April 8^th, 2024! This is exciting! But with excitement, comes visitors to our area. With all hotels and short-term rentals booked for this day, we are anticipating an influx of visitors to the Southern Tier and specifically Schuyler County. We have been advised that there will be large amounts of traffic that could impact our school transportation runs. Given the information that we have and the unknowns, and out of an abundance of caution, the District has adjusted its calendar to reflect a full recess day on April 8^th, 2024. There will be no school for WGCSD students and faculty on 4.8.24. With that said:

On April 8^th, there will be no athletics practices. There will be no home or away games. There will be no extracurricular activities or outside use of our facilities by the public. The fitness center and the pool will be closed for public use.

That is all for now WG!

Have a great weekend and SOAR Lake Hawks!

Respectfully, 
Kai D’Alleva
Watkins Glen Central School District
