 Good afternoon WGCSD Families and Caregivers!
 
I hope you had a great week! Thank you to all families and students who took part in spirit week! It was great to see so many students and faculty joining in the fun!
 
We need your feedback!

  1. As part of our funding linked to the American Rescue Plan, we are required to seek public input on our in-person learning plan. We will seek input multiple times throughout the school year. This form will be available until 10.29.21.
  2. We are partnering with BrightBytes to learn more about our school’s climate and culture. We are reaching out to ask you to take part in our Whole Child survey in the upcoming weeks. Your participation is essential to help us form a more complete picture of the safety, discipline, physical and learning environments in our buildings. All responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy. Over the next few days, please keep an eye out for an email with more information about how to participate

Update: Though still challenging, this week was better than last week. We have now over 40 positive cases District-Wide since the school year started. Most of our positive cases are now recovered and are back in school.
 
The NYS COVID School Report Card system is now working. The link to it can be found here https://schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov. Click on “Public Schools”, type in “Watkins Glen”, and a list will drop down for you to select both building specific and district level data. 
 
Come work for us!!
 
As a reminder, we have MANY full-time and part-time employment opportunities available for members of our community.
 
If you have any interest in joining our team, we would love to have you! Please contact Ms. Renee Angle in the District Office at 607-535-3220.
 
Tomorrow SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23.2021, we will be holding a WGCSD specific Job Fair. Representatives from Human Resources, Instructional Leadership, Transportation, Operations & Maintenance, Food Service, Athletics, and Schuyler County Civil Service will be on site to answer all questions. We will also be having School Bus Test drives available for anyone interested in testing their driving skills.
 
As always, thank you for your continued support and cooperation!
 
Go Senecas!
