Dear East Hill Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our PTA for providing East Hill with the Makerspace event last Saturday! It was a HUGE success! I would like to also thank all of the incredible volunteers who made this day possible. Thank you to all the families that were able to attend!
Last Friday, our grade 4 orchestra students traveled to West Genesee Intermediate School to meet the strings staff and their fellow grade 4 orchestra peers from Stonehedge, Onondaga Road and Split Rock. Thanks to Mrs. Edele for helping to coordinate this wonderful opportunity!
Just a reminder that NY State ELA assessments are this Monday and Tuesday, April 15 and 16, for our grades 3 and 4 students. Please make sure your child is rested and arrives to school on time.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
~Susan
Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 school year has been extended until May 1, 2024. Please note - children that are currently enrolled in our UPK program must also register for Kindergarten.
Information can be found on the Central Registration webpage. If you have any questions, email the Central Registrar at centralregistrar@westgenesee.org, or call Central Registration at (315) 487-4683.
When registering, parents should be prepared to upload the following:
- Two proofs of residency (i.e. mortgage or property statement or signed lease agreement, utility bill)
- proof of age
A physical examination and proof of immunizations are also required for entry into kindergarten and a dental certificate is requested for entry into kindergarten. These examinations should be done up to one year prior to the first day of school. Children who enter kindergarten this fall must be five years of age on or before December 1, 2024.

Universal Pre-Kindergarten Registration Is Now Open
West Genesee partners with local Community-Based Organizations (CBO) for its Pre-K program.
To be eligible for UPK during the 2024-2025 school year, a child must:
- Have a birthdate between December 2, 2019 and December 1, 2020
- Reside in the West Genesee Central School District
In the event that more registrations are received than can be accommodated, the District will conduct an initial selection process via an open lottery in which children will be selected at random.
Those children who have completed the registration process by May 1, 2024 will be part of the initial selection process.
Families who were part of the initial selection process will be called in order of selection and informed:
- whether their child has been accepted to the program, and
- which site (including hours of the program) is available for their child;
OR
- where their child is on the waiting list.
Families will be contacted by May 2-3, 2024.
If at any point after the initial selection process there are more students registered than seats available, students will be placed on the waiting list in the order that their registration was completed.
Transportation to and from the program is the responsibility of the parents/guardians, and students must attend the program five days a week to maintain their seat.
Look for registration information on the Central Registration webpage at:
http://www.westgenesee.org/district-services/registration/. If you have any questions, email the Central Registrar at centralregistrar@westgenesee.org, or call Central Registration at at (315) 487-4683.
When registering, parents should be prepared to upload the following:
- proof of residency (ie. mortgage or property statement or signed lease agreement)
- proof of age
2024 Art Exhibits at Maxwell Memorial Library
Each year, our schools rotate exhibits of student artwork at the Maxwell Memorial Library. This is a long standing and deeply valuable collaboration for our department, teachers, students and community. Please check out the schedule and stop by to see the work our students have produced...and see what the library has to offer. It's an amazing space!

Students to Receive Free Breakfast and Lunch Meals
We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled at West Genesee CSD will be able to receive a FREE breakfast and lunch meal at school beginning December 1.
This implementation is a result of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanding access to the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.
What does this mean for your child(ren) attending the school(s) identified above?
Effective 12/1/2023, all students enrolled at West Genesee CSD will be able to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day regardless of the family’s household income. Milk is free with a full meal. No further action is required of you.
If you have any further questions, please contact Food Service at 315-487-4661.
Please click here to read a message to parents about free meals for students.
