Dear CMS Families:
I would like to update you regarding some important information on how we will be finishing the school year regarding grading and classroom assignments.
Last week of class assignments:
Teachers will assign the final assignments for the school year the week of June 8th.
Last day of on-line classes:
The last day of on-line classes for middle level will be June 15th. All assignments must be submitted by this date.
Marking Period 4 Pass or Fail:
Students will receive a Pass (P) on their report card for the 4th Marking Period if 50% or more of the assignments have earned a “Complete.” Students will receive a Fail (F) if less than 50% of the assignments have earned a “Complete,” which means they were scored as “Missing” or “Incomplete.”
Final Course Averages:
For full year courses, the average of Marking Periods 1-3 will determine the Final Average for the course. For 2nd semester courses, Marking Period 3 will be used as the final average.
High School Course Credit (CFM, DDP, Studio, Algebra 1, LOTE):
There are no final examinations.
For these credit bearing courses only, if a student’s average for Marking Periods 1 - 3 for full-year courses or the Marking Period 3 average for a second semester course is between a 58 and 64, the Principal will review the student’s marking period averages and performance in Marking Period 4 to make a decision about awarding course credit. If, after review of the marking periods, the Principal determines that a student will be denied course credit, recovery may occur through the completion of work based on essential Standards for which a student has not attained.
Final Report Card:
The final report card will be available for viewing in Schooltool on June 26th.
Please contact me should you have any questions at all at blozier@westgenesee.org.
Stay well! Finish Strong!

Locker Retrieval Plan
Dear CMS Families:
We have developed a plan for you to retrieve your child’s items from their lockers and to return school issued materials. This will take place on June 9th for grades 6 and 7. On June 10th we will have a separate pick up event for our 8th graders. Please see the charts below. When you arrive, please park in the lot and walk toward the bus loop. All locker contents have been bagged and will be arranged by homeroom on the bus loop.Your child’s bags (homeroom and PE lockers) will be labeled with their name. Social distancing points will be clearly marked, and masks are recommended.
In the event of rain, we will leave the bags inside the building and you will simply come to the door of the school, and we will hand you your bag.
Our school nurse will be contacting you directly to arrange the retrieval of any medications still remaining in the Health Office.
There will be no entry to the school building. If you are unable to make one of the assigned time slots please email me at blozier@westgenesee.org or call the office and leave a message at 315-672-3159 so that we can make an arrangement.
Bags from all grade levels will be available on both June 9th and 10th.
Return of School Issued Supplies
There will be tables set up along the bus loop for you to return the following items:
8th Grade Recognition - June 10th
We would like the opportunity to recognize our 8th graders. On this day we will have few surprises reserved just for them. Please park in the lot and have only your child come to the bus loop to receive their class gift from the PTO. Thank you to our PTO for arranging this event.
Yearbooks
The CMS yearbook will not be shipped to us until later in the summer. We will let you know once we have developed a plan for how to get them to you.
We are so looking forward to seeing the people we miss most; our students, even for a few brief moments. Stay well, and we will see you soon.

May Update
PAUSE Week (May 11th-15th)
Next week will be another opportunity for students to complete and/or make-up any assignments still open from the first few weeks of the 4th marking period. Any assignments that are missing (M) or incomplete (I) in SchoolTool can be submitted for teacher review and feedback. Not every student will have work to submit this week. This is a chance for everyone to catch their breath and gear up for the final five weeks of the school year. This is also a great opportunity to take part in our Virtual Wellness Spirit Week! We are encouraging students and teachers to have a “Technology Free Friday” on May 15th to give everyone a needed brain break. Finally, please check out our Well-being Choice Boards for some additional ways to take a pause.
Five Week Reports
Five week reports for Marking Period 4 will be available to view through SchoolTool on Friday, May 22nd. Students will be receiving comments in the following categories:
You can access the report by logging into SchoolTool and following the step by step directions posted there.
Student Belongings In Lockers
We are finalizing the plan for you to pick up the contents of your student’s locker. This will take place sometime in June. We will communicate the plan right here in the blog as soon as we work out the details.

May Message
Virtual Planners
This week we will begin using grade level specific virtual planners for all subjects. Every Monday, at around noon, parents and students will receive a link to the planner in their email. We will also post the planner to the Online Learning Portal and the CMS website by going to 'Virtual Planners' under the 'School Links' section. We hope that this will help families with time management and to develop a regular schedule to complete assignments.
Extended School Closure
I know that many of you have questions regarding locker clean out now that Governor Cuomo has officially closed school through the end of the year. We are currently in the planning stages of how to accomplish this safely. As soon as the plan is in place, likely further down the road, we will communicate with you again. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at blozier@westgenesee.org. We know that school is the heart of our strong community. The memories made each day, the laughter, and the learning are felt deeply by not only our students but also by every single staff member. I hope this video will bring a smile to you as we begin another week.
May you all remain well.
We Celebrate Learning!
