February Message

Starting on February 8, 2021, students in grades five (5) through twelve (12) will start using ClassLink. ClassLink provides a Single Sign On (SSO) tool and “landing page” on Chromebooks which will be pre-populated (by grade) with relevant links for school resources. Students using personal devices will also have the ability to use ClassLink.

Logging into ClassLink also provides the ability to track attendance so we will no longer need to use Operoo for daily attendance after February 5, 2021.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we transition to ClassLink.


The Camillus Middle School Library is the center of our very vibrant Maker Space. Our librarian, Mrs. Bush, and our library assistant, Mrs. Gifford, created the first Maker Space in the district five years ago. As we have had to reimagine what school looks like, they have reimagined how the Maker Space can continue to provide engaging and creative activities. The link is available on the CMS web page, but you can access it here


Our second semester will begin on Monday, February 1st. We are excited to be making the following special area changes for our students: 

  • Grade 7 students have completed Health. They will begin taking Technology. 
  • Grade 8 students have completed CFM. They will begin taking Technology. 
  • Remote students in grade 7 will take Health.

We welcome Mr. Besmer and Mrs. McCarty who are joining the CMS faculty to teach these courses. 

Remember to check Schooltool on Feburary 5th to see the second marking period report card. 


Our 8th grade students are in the process of filling out a Google form to select their courses for next year at the high school. Over the next several weeks, Mrs. Canterino will follow-up with students to review their selections and answer any questions they may have about the high school. Parents will receive an email in the early spring indicating that the Schooltool course selection report is available for your review and feedback. Please feel free to call the Counseling Office at (315) 672-8381 or email Mrs. Canterino at mcanterino@westgenesee.org if you have questions.

Grade 6 to Grade 7 and Grade 7 to Grade 8 scheduling will occur later in the spring.
