Earth Science Teacher Miss Kreppel has prepared some information for families about the highly anticipated eclipse on Monday, April 8th. The information includes links to area events and related educational information as well as worksheets (both completed and blank) so that students (and adults) can record their observations of the event.

Wayland-Cohocton Elementary Third and Fourth Grade Chorus rehearsal will not be held on Thursday, March 28th. No students should report for rehearsal.

First graders are learning to create self portraits in art. Mrs. Stieve started off by discussing facial characteristics, face shape and positions of the facial features. Students used mirrors to create a rough draft before moving to the “good paper” to finalize their creations. Wayland-Cohocton is celebrating National Youth Art Month and will post pictures of students and their creative endeavors throughout March.

Elementary Art students with Mrs. Stieve wrapped up a clay heart project. After finishing the project, the students take time to reflect on their work through a guided worksheet. This helps young learners process what skills they are mastering while having fun creating beautiful art. It is an important part of the learning process. Wayland-Cohocton is celebrating National Youth Art Month and will post pictures of students and their creative endeavors throughout March.

Thank you to everyone for your patience this morning during the electrical issues at Wayland-Cohocton. Power was restored, however the brown out did cause some damage to the building necessitating the canceling of classes. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you and have a good weekend.

After consulting with the power company, unfortunately they cannot give us a time frame as to when power will be restored and as a result we are calling an emergency day. Middle school students will be given breakfast and then Middle and high Students will be released to the buses at 8:30 am. If you would prefer to pick up your student please come to the middle school or high school office to pick up your student. If your middle school child should not be dropped off at home, please contact the middle school office as soon as possible. There will be no elementary or prekindergarten classes today either.

Wayland-Cohocton Middle School students are entering the building. Fifth and sixth grade will go to the cafeteria and seventh and eighth grade will go to the gymnasium. Buses have not gone out for the elementary school. We will continue to update you as we have more informstion regarding elementary school.

Further clarification on power issues at WC Wayland Campus: Wayland-Cohocton High School is currently fully operational on a generator and students will be entering the school. The Middle School will be held on buses for a short time while the situation is reviewed. Information will be forthcoming regarding Elementary School.

Wayland-Cohocton Central School is currently without power. The district suspects it to be a brown out and will be holding students on the buses for a while we try to rectify the situation. We will update you further when we know more.
