Wayland-Cohocton Prekindergarten

Message for Cohort B (Thursday and Friday in-person attendance) kindergarten students only If your child is in COHORT B (meaning they will attend in person on Thursdays and Fridays), please come to the field house parking lot to pick up your child’s school supplies and Chromebook on Friday, September 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. The field house is located around the back of the school building on the Wayland campus. Picking up supplies is important so that your child can have the necessary materials to begin their instruction at home on Monday, September 14. AGAIN, THIS IS FOR COHORT B KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS ONLY. Cohort A students will receive their materials and Chromebooks on Monday at school

The first day of school for students is Monday, September 14. This link is to the district's 2020-2021 Instructional Calendar. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/899576/2020-21_Instructional__Calendar_r.09022020.pdf

Parents: Children should have their own masks/face coverings for school. School will provide masks/face coverings if a child does not have one when they arrive. They will most likely be the disposable style. (This is a clarification as the district has received many inquiries.)

School supplies are being purchased by the school. Families need only to provide sneakers and maybe a backpack. Lockers will not be used in the upper levels for the first few weeks. If you have specific questions regarding supplies/lockers please contact your child's building office.

This morning an email was sent out to all elementary families that was intended for PreK families. K-4 Elementary families can ignore the email about PreK Programming. We are sorry for the mistake. We know there has been a great deal of communication to keep track of and we are sorry for adding to your inboxes unnecessarily.

Due to recent restrictions to Google Meet, the district is emailing a new link via Zoom for tonight’s virtual meeting for families regarding opening. The meeting officially begins at 8 p.m. However, families can begin logging in at 7:45 p.m. You will need to wait until you are “admitted”. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (WC families will receive the email.)

Typo in this morning's email to families- Registration is closed for the August 19 at 6 p.m. meeting (not July). Registration is now also closed for Monday, August 17th meeting at 6 p.m. Both meetings have reached capacity.

An email was sent out this morning to district families with a link for a virtual Family Information Meeting regarding the reopening of school.

Please log on a few minutes early so that every can be "admitted" to the meeting in a timely manner.

Families are reminded that if you want your questions to be seen and answered when possible, particularly in regards to the reopening of school, it is best to ask them on the feeds from the news items posted to the districts five Facebook pages. We will do our best to get answers to your questions. Some answers are still being worked out.

If you've had trouble logging into the survey, please check again. We have adjusted some of the settings and hope it has resolved the issues. Today is the last day to submit your responses.

Parents are reminded to complete their surveys regarding feelings/attitudes about returning to school. Survey stays open until Wednesday, July 29. Surveys were emailed to families.
