BACK TO SCHOOL TIME!
Genesee School has been dismissed for summer break, but we are rapidly approaching the return to school for the 2010-2011 school year! Classes will resume on August 31st, 2010. We hope everyone has had a fun filled and restful summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone upon the return to school.
PLEASE REMEMBER, THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE SCHOOL CALENDAR, AND START AND END TIMES FOR THE SCHOOL DAY, FOR THE 2010-11 SCHOOL YEAR. **Please access and review the calendar available from the homepage of the district website. School resumes on August 31st at 8:00 a.m. (not 8:25). Elementary students will be dismissed at 3:15 p.m. daily and secondary students at 3:20. There are NO EARLY RELEASE DAYS in next year's calendar. There are however a number of professional days for which there will be no attendance for students. *Thank you in advance for taking time to review the calendar and make preparations in advance!
SCHOOL SUPPLIES LISTS
The list of school supplies for elementary students has been posted on the front doors of the school and is available on-line from the homepage of the school district website. Secondary students only need to have paper, pens and pencils for the first day. As students rotate through their schedule, they will be informed of specific supplies if needed.
BACK TO SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE EVENTS
There will be an open house event for students in grades preschool through third grade on Monday, August 30th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. This is the day before school starts and is a wonderful opportunity to drop off supplies, meet teachers and check out the classrooms. This open house helps to insure a smooth first day of school and we encourage you to participate. *This is not a time for conferencing about specific concerns regarding your child. If you feel such a conference is needed, scheduling an appointment with your child's teacher will provide the private setting in which to accomplish that.
ADDITIONALLY the Genesee PTO will be providing popsicle treats to enjoy on the front lawn as you are leaving the open house. Information regarding membership with the PTO, and the wonderful events they sponsor will also be available. Please take a moment, and consider joining the Genesee PTO.
*The Open House for grades 4 through 12 will be held the evening of the first day of school, August 31st from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
PLANT FACILITY ELECTION - TUESDAY, AUGUST 17th
REMINDER: The Plant Facility Election will be held on Tuesday, August 17th from noon to 8:00 p.m. Polling places include Genesee School and the Morscheck residence.

5.) SENIORS: Shortly after the school year begins, usually in October, the representative from the company who prints our diplomas will be here to discuss graduation orders for caps and gowns, and announcements. *When this order is placed, usually just before Thanksgiving, is when the diploma order is also submitted, with your name as it will appear on your diploma. This name is an exact match to what is on your birth certificate, which we have on file in the office. IF you are planning to make a legal change to your name (i.e. spelling of first name, middle name, dropping a name, adding a last name, etc.), you will need to have the paperwork complete and turned in to the office PRIOR to the diploma order being submitted, otherwise your diploma will be printed to match your current legal birth certificate.
